Furthermore, in this field you can use any column placeholder, just write a column name in square brackets [ ], for example [Column Name]. To simplify the placeholder writing, you may type first letters of the column name after the left square bracket sign [ in the notification `Body` and the columns starting with these letters will be displayed in the dropdown, then you can cut/paste this placeholder from the `Body` into the `Subject` field.

Moreover, you can type first letters of the column name after the `[` sign and the columns starting with these letters will be displayed in the dropdown.
