Well I thought this was going to be a good solution to this, but unfortunately, it seems that
{count($content_version.data_map.article_fan_notes)} consistently returns the value of 18 regardless which is the number of charaters + 1 for article_fan_notes (not sure if that is why its returning 18, but that's my guess) How do i get count to count the actual data?
thanks for your help.
I guess this post really is in the wrong place. Sorry!
