Self updating text fields

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have created a dynamic slope indicator to add to some of my plans. My intent is to specify the height and length of the two legs, and have the fields display those values. I made the attributes, then inserted fields into them. For the field I specified that I wanted an object<BlockPlaceholder<HEIGHT/LENGTH (one for each of the legs). The problem is when I insert the block, it just says LENGTH/HEIGHT instead of displaying the value. When I regenerate it fills with # signs, so I know I did something wrong. Does anyone have any fixes to make this work correctly? Thanks!

You have both attributes set to Constant = Yes.  Because of that, they cannot change/update.  Set that to Constant = No in properties and it will work.
