Example:
put the short name of this card into field "Card Label"

Description:
Use the <short> <keyword> to obtain a date, time, name, or ID in the most compressed form available.

In general, a <short> form is shorter than either the <abbreviated> form or the <long> form.

If the useSystemDate <property> is set to false, a short <date> looks like this:
  7/21/00
If the useSystemDate is true, the short <date> is formatted according to the system settings.

If the useSystemDate <property> is set to false, a short <time> looks like this:
  11:22 AM
If the useSystemDate is true, the short <time> is formatted according to the system settings.

A short object <name> is simply its name, with no qualifiers. For example, a short <card> name looks like this: This Card

A short object <ID> looks like this: 2238

>*Note:* The <short> <keyword> is implemented internally as a <property> and <function>, and appears in the <propertyNames> and the <functionNames>. However, it cannot be used as a <property> in an <expression>, nor with the <set> <command>.

Changes:
The form the short owner was introduced in version 2.0. In previous versions, the form of the owner property could not be specified and reported only the abbreviated owner.
