Printer template variables

I am trying to create a new template variable which includes Aisle and Shelf on the label (2x1 size label.

I've based my label on this code block which works just fine

 N
q406
A35,5,0,3,1,1,N,"Our Company Name"
A35,30,0,3,1,1,N,"Our Company URL"
A35,55,0,3,1,1,N,"[element.shortName]"
A35,80,0,3,1,1,N,"[element.partNumber]"
B45,105,0,1,3,7,40,B,"[barcode]"
P1
M
N

My code block is: 

N
q406
A35,5,0,3,1,1,N,"Our Company Name"
A35,30,0,3,1,1,N,"Our Company URL"
A35,55,0,3,1,1,N,"[element.shortName]"
A35,80,0,3,1,1,N,"[element.Aisle] [element.Shelf]"
B45,105,0,1,3,7,40,B,"[barcode]"
P1
M
N

Nothing is printed on the fourth line. I've also used lower case (element.aisle). Also tried element.aisle by itself without the shelf element. None of these worked.

Anywhere I can find a list of all the elements/variables for printer templates?

Any hints?

  Aaron Horn is correct here- as it turns out the tokens for Aisle, Shelf, and Bin do not currently function - however, our intention is to change this in a future update, in addition to still-under-consideration improvements and optimizations for label/barcode printing features.

  Hey Norm,

  After years of Flex use, these are the only dynamic fields that I've ever seen available for the barcode generator:

  element.preferredDisplayString
  element.name
  element.inventoryItem.name (this may not work. needs testing.)
  element.shortName
  element.shortHand
  element.size
  element.manufacturer
  element.partNumber
  element.manufacturersSerialNumber
  element.stencil
  barcode.label
  barcode

  Here's an explanation of the 2 mashup ones:
  element.preferredDisplayString
  elements used = [Size] [Item Name] ([Stencil])
  example = 60" HD LED Display (TV61)
   
  element.name
  elements used = [Item Name] - [Size] ([Stencil])
  example = HD LED Display - 60" (TV61)

  Hope that helps!  Chime back if you still need assistance.

  I'm going down same rabbit hole and interested to see if this fix is coming soon. Trying to create parent barcode labels for warehouse shelves and this would be super helpful.
