    Default Re: Linking a field to an attribute in a Dynamic Block

    Thanks for your quick reply. I have been trying a work around involving an attribute that I made into a block by itself. I then inserted that attribute (block) into my dynamic block while i'm in the block editor. My thought is that maybe I could make the field in that nested block update with what is happening in the drawing. The hope there would be that it would show up and look like attribute text but you'd only be editing the first value that in turn would be updating the field values in the drawing. I will keep working at this, thanks again.

    I've wished for a solution to this same problem, myself. Honestly, the best I've come up with -- as much as this sounds like a joke -- is to name the fields that are dependent / shouldn't be manually edited "DO_NOT_EDIT_OR_YOU_ARE_FIRED_1" etc.

    Am implementing that as I type this.
