What template fields do I use to get data for matter contacts

SILQ variables have a very specific syntax as per this article however that syntax can be extended further to access matter contact information.

The standard syntax is <vartype:varname[:varformattype[:varformatextra]]>

When preparing field, you will need to enter the varname in a specific format which in the form role(position,field).

It will still support formatting like regular fields and you can still use it with E/N/PE/PN/MULTI fields.

Some examples

<i:m-plain(2,sub)> - this will get the second plaintiff's sub
<i:m-vend(1,for)> - this will get the first vendors formal name
<i:m-employee(1,dateofbirthraw):d:18> this will get the date of birth for the 1st employee and format the date in the format style 31 January 2025
<e:m-employee(1,dateofbirth)> - this will remove the line if the first employee date of birth is empty.
<n:m-employee(1,addr1)> this will remove the line if the first employee's address 1 is not empty.
