DynBlock Table Values - Multiple Instances

OK. I have a dynamic block. It has properties that populate a table. I would like to use multiple instances of this dynamic block-table combination. If I copy and paste the block, the second table will still update changes for the first block. I asked ChatGPT and it said to use the Data link manager, but that only seems to pull data from an excel file and not from my block. Can anyone help me sort this out?

Hi,

 

>. I have a dynamic block.

In your picture: This is one blockreference, we are not inside your block (bedit), right?

 

>. It has properties that populate a table.

In your picture: This is a TABLE object? and it is not part of the block, right?

This table vreated manually, or is linked and generated by Dataextraction?

I think the table is not part of the block and it is a real table(object),

in this case: It doesn't work

It would work if there are just Lines & Text ot Mtext, or a Block with Attributes.

But nested fields inside a table, nope.

Workaround: Instead command copy, Export and Import your objects! Quickest way: Use the clipboard!

Select Blockreference&Table, [CTRL]+[C], [CTRL]+[V], voila

The table is NOT inside my block. Are you saying it would work if table WAS inside my block? Yes I manually linked the values in the table individually

Thank you. I swear I tried to copy paste, but I guess not. Thank you!
