Use value of key in Trigger Description

[tkr65536]

I have a trigger that gets tripped when a binary SNMP Check item goes from 0 to 1. This trigger is defined in a template

That item is monitoring one of two exciters, whichever one is active.

I would like for the description to inform me which exciter was active when the alarm was tripped. That value is available in a separate item.


I have tried using the below macros, none of them work:

Active Exciter: Exciter {HOST.activeExciter}
Active Exciter: Exciter {{HOST.NAME}:activeExciter}
Active Exciter: Exciter {{HOST}.activeExciter}

Their output is:
Description: Active Exciter: Exciter {HOST.activeExciter}
Active Exciter: Exciter {Transmitter:activeExciter}
Active Exciter: Exciter {{HOST}.activeExciter}

The value of activeExciter is:
"a"

Is there any way I can get the value of the activeExciter item in the description of the trigger so that it gets emailed?

(The key for the field is "activeExciter")

Thank you very much

I just wanted to follow up and see if anyone knows how to get the value of the activeExciter item in the description of the trigger so that it gets emailed.
