Formula sometimes not showing and inconsitent results

What happened?

...not showing

I use a formular column to ad multiple columns together like this to generate a Name.
${row.Name}_${row.ContainerType}_${row.Category}_${row.SubCategory}
Often times the resulting Name is not shown until I refresh by changing the formula slightly back and forth.

...inconsitent results

Also if a row has no value sometimes it gets green and sometimes I get an "undefined". For example in row 11 "SubCategory" is missing but instead of getting an undefined, the "-" between "Name" and "ContainerType" is deleted and the font is green. On row 14 its just _undefined in at the end.

I uploaded the folder I used
Pipeline.zip

Hi @SchittBull . what i think is happening:
row 11, 12 and 13 => Formula string renders markdown and _<your string>_ renders italic . Subcategory key exists but is empty

row 14,15 and 16 => Subcategory key does not exists

my proposed solution:

`${row.Name}_${row.ContainerType}_${row.Category}${row.SubCategory ? "_"+row.SubCategory : ""}`

Thank you for your reply @RafaelGB. Can you tell me what this part does?:

? "_"+row.SubCategory : ""}`

I already tried putting ` bevore and after but somehow it doesn't show anything when I do this.

Its a ternary expression in javascript:
if row.SubCategory is null apply "_"+row.SubCategory, else apply an empty string ""

the ` was just a typo of the markdown expression of the response
