Action Tool Help

TLATHROP

I have module hosted in my companies gallery that is run each month. 

 

I want my user to be able to add a line of text (based on a drop down), to the title page of the module.

 

I am having trouble configuring the action tool so it will add the new field, picked by the user through the drop down, to the title page.

The new field is not shown as an option to add by the 'report text' tool.

I have attached a copy of the module in question any help would be appreciated!

Thanks board 🙂

Hi @TLATHROP,

 

I would use the dropdown to update a text input and feed the data from the text input into the report text tool, you can then join this back with the est of your data stream and continue as you were!

If you've got any questions feel free to let me know, i've attached the workflow for you to download if needed.

 

Kind regards,

Jonathan
