Assign text object value to another

[Anonymous]

Hi,

is this possible to assign one text object to another text object? through expression?

You can create a Linked Copy and then a change in one will be reflected in the other.

You can't reference the value of a text object. Best you can do is repeat the same expression in another object.

You could assign your expression to a variable and use this instead in both text boxes.

Hi,

Assign the value in the Text Object to a variable and use the same variable in the two Text Objects.

Example: vSampleVariable = 'Some sample value'

or

vSampleVariable = Today()

Now use this variable in text object like below

=vSampleVariable

Hope this helps you.

Dear Jagan,

Is this possible first calculate the values by using expression in text object then assign to any variable or straight table fields without using macros?

Kind regards,

Hi Ishfaque,

It is not possible to get value of text object and assign it to variable without using macro, instead you can use the same expression in variable and use that variable value in Text object.
