Views: Token replacements in Global: Custom Text empty in PDF display

I too am seeing this. It occurs wherever a hidden field is included as a token within the display of another field (e.g. in "Rewrite results" and "No results behaviour") as well as in "Global: custom text" - broadening issue title accordingly. And as this worked perfectly in the Drupal 7 version I regard it as a bug rather than a feature request.

I've just noticed that this had previously been reported as 🐛 Fields hidden from display don't show up later when required Active . So this should probably be flagged as a duplicate.

And even before that it was reported as 🐛 Fields marked "exclude from display" do not produce tokens for use in subsequent fields Fixed - and is flagged as fixed! I shall check that out and apologise for wasting your time, but I started scrolling down the list and came to the others first.
