Sites cannot display dashboard record data when ID is of type text

This is a warning/awareness post for Sites implementing record views.

I've noticed that site's do not work to display dashboard record data when the ID is of type text. The error it gives is APNX-1-4198-000, which isn't very relevant. This hasn't been an issue with viewing the Record in Tempo.

The identifier in question was in the following format: 1-XXXX and when viewing it in Tempo it displays the record dashboard correctly. When viewing it in Sites, it errors saying "could not find variable XXXX." I changed it to one, and it errors saying "could not find variable one." However it works fine if the ID is set to 1.

I find it strange that the 1- is removed from 1-XXXX. I think it to do with creating the unique URL.
