How to display static text in a Pega Constellation view?
I'm working with Pega Constellation and need to display a piece of static text in a view.
For example, I want to show a message like:
"Your country is USA"
What’s the best way to add static or read-only text to a Constellation view?
Ideally, I'm looking for something similar to a label, paragraph, or a read-only field.

In Constellation, the simplest way is to add a Text content block in the view: open the view in App Studio, click Add, choose Text, type Your country is USA, and save; it renders as read-only content. If you want it styled like body copy or a label, set the Text style (Body, Caption, Helper) in the block’s settings. For dynamic bits, use a small expression: Your country is {.Country} and keep the block read-only so users can’t edit it. If you prefer a property, create a calculated single-value property like .CountryMessage with the expression "Your country is " + .Country and drop it in the view with Display mode Read-only. For multi-line notes, use the Rich text content block and disable editing. To support translation, store the sentence as a Field Value (or Message) and reference it in the Text block so locales swap it automatically. You can also add helper text on a field for short hints, but Text/Rich text is best for standalone messages.
