Hi,

I have an element containing a column with values matching to some other elements name.

Is it possible to link the element dynamicly with the value of a cell?

Example syntax:

Source:

Destination would be some parameter from an element with the same name as the source-cell.

Regards,

Felix

Your example syntax was extremely close. Basically all you have to do is leave the element shape data and replace the last ':' with a ','.

Element - [param:sourceElementName,sourceParameterId,sourceIndexValue]

The param will be retrieved and the entire placeholder will be replaced by the resulting value, in turn leading you to a valid element shape data linking to the element you want.

param placeholder in user guide
