Tiny Bug - Map Reports - -< should be ->

When creating a new map window

The default formats for both “Auto report format for movement within this map” and “Auto report for movement to this map” uses … $previousLocation$ -< $location$ * and thus displays as
Example Armor USA -< Britain

Both of these formats should use → so it correctly displays as
Example Armor USA → Britain

Also, is the “previous” prefix functionally identical to “old”? Or are there subtle differences…?

Thanks - I pushed a fix to bug 14255 (PR 819)

As for your question there are several of these kinds of things (e.g. Report State traits) that report various legacy properties. I think those existed before the main standard ones (e.g. OldLocationName) existed. Either these legacy ones or the current standard ones should both work.

Here are the legacy ones I see in Map:
public static final String LOCATION = “location”; //$NON-NLS-1$
public static final String OLD_LOCATION = “previousLocation”; //$NON-NLS-1$
public static final String OLD_MAP = “previousMap”; //$NON-NLS-1$
public static final String MAP_NAME = “mapName”; //$NON-NLS-1$
public static final String PIECE_NAME = “pieceName”; //$NON-NLS-1$
