Is there this function? I can’t find it! I find only “application.getSolutionName” but it isn’t what I want.
Under
File → Solution settings
there’s the “Title” field but I can’t retrieve this value for assign it to a label for example (there isn’t in the “Standard tags” list too).
Why would you want that?
You set the title yourself so you already know it
The easiest thing could be to create a i18n key and use that. You can always ask for its current value then. We use that in our solution because that has a different name for different customers.
Simply for show it as a label on the header.
So when I clone the solution that I use like a template I have only to change the solution.title and not also the label…
maybe I’m too lazy

Might it be useful for a module to know what solution it is being used within?
I like the i18n tip…

Could be.
The reason I asked is because often people don’t write why they have a question.
When you know why something is asked it is easier to interpret the question and give a pointer into the most appropriate direction…

I agree completely, Marcel, that it’s easiest to get an effective answer in a forum (and easier for others to provide one) if one states one’s goal!!
I did not misunderstand why you asked, “Why would you want that?”. But your question did spark a train of creative thinking (as did Patrick’s i18n tip).
I would think for “axterics” goal of simply showing a label in a header with a specific customer name, that customer’s header label (and many similar customer-specific values as may be needed, such as invoice_address in a billing solution and so on) could (and perhaps “should”) simply be stored in a preferences table as data (or do the i18n key thing).
But if a module does not know in advance what solutions it will eventually become part of, it might help to have a Servoy function that gets the solution name, so that appearance and branching can be fine-tuned according to “what solution I belong to at the moment”.
