Since nobody else mentioned this specifically - "&" is the string concatenation operator. When you use it between the two other elements, it causes Appian to concatenate the contents of these into a string - that doesn't concatenate the output into a string, but rather concatenates the component code into a string - hence what you have in your original screenshot.

icon: "calendar",

)," ",
a!richTextItem(
text: local!date

I am re-using it many places, hence used the interface for that.

I think you are trying to show a richTextDisplayField in a textField.

What is the use of FST_c_readOnlyFieldDisplay()
