I used the SEGMENT function to show only 35 characters of the course name. But when the discipline is not 35 characters (MATH), gives error. How do I do ?
You have to check first if the text is longer than 35 characters. Something like:
if length_of(text) > 35:
return segment(text, start=1, end=35)
else:
return text

Yes, I thought about that, but the string is the JSON return and is inside a look up pairs key.
what about using the inline if then else block?

I didn’t use If else because I thought the Segment function did that, because in other languages they do. I will try to use IF Then Else inside Look up Pairs. Topic resolved.
