Hi everyone,
I have a quick question, hoping someone can help steer me in the right direction. Is there a way for MTEXT within a block to be dynamically field linked to the attribute of the block it is in?
I'm not sure if I'm going about it the wrong way because I cannot make it work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Note sure I understand what you want it to do. In this block the mtext is dynamic with the size of the block.
I'm having trouble opening the file, for some reason it only opens through block editor.
I've attached an example of what I mean. I have a single block with an attribute (ATT), inside the block is the MTEXT "ORDER:". I am trying to insert a field and have it linked to the block's attribute. Once that is done successfully have the ability to copy the block multiple times and regen so the MTEXT takes on the linked attribute value (see yellow).
Is this what you are trying to do ? You have not discussed what you want to do when you are copying
I don't think you can use MTEXT in this way. Attributes can change and be unique with each block inserted but mtext is part of the blocks definition which means if you could change it. It would change in each inserted block of that name not the just the particular block you want it changed in.
It can be done. Search the forums for posts by Libbya and linking fields

you can link to the attribute in the block but it does not change when the attribute changes. Why can't you set the attribute as visible and use the information in the attribute?
