Runner type vs Runner name equivalent to market type vs market name

[misiek]

Can you introduce additional runner description field, which would be consistent across single market type/event type?

MATCH_ODDS - HOME, DRAW, AWAY

This would not work for markets with runners equivalent to players, but I am sure such exception could be handled. Here is my last post on this and I still use Sort Priority to achieve what I need.

Hi misiek

Thanks for the suggestion.

Please can you describe the specific use case for this?

Kind Regards

Hi Neil, apologies for not responding. I did not see this message in my inbox until now.

Anyway, I raised it in one of the posts in the past. Sometimes runner name is changed comparing to the team/player name in the event name. This creates difficulty in selecting right runner. I resolved it using sort priority, but it turns that I need to be updating my code occasionally. Such field would sort this problem once for all.

where did you enter your code? did it actually fix the problem?
