Add data to multiple shapes in a group

I have a complex shape that has icons and varied text. Initially made from primitives it will have several text boxes etc. One the shape image is created it will be grouped. Once grouped a data source will be applied that will have properties that will populate each of the text entities and update a property on the icons that will then be colorized by a rule.

Please advise how to proceed.

Thank you

Hi John thank you for that additional information. Check out this video recording of how to successfully do this.

 

 

Here is quick breakdown by step:

  1. Drag multiple shapes onto the canvas and highlight/select all shapes
  2. Group shapes together by right click "Group" 
  3. Double click on the group of shapes and drag a row of data onto this group. 
  4. Select desired shape and select New Data Field> Custom Data> Property 1 (=parent.Data row title)
  5. You can choose to add the text to the shape by selecting the Text+ icon on the right hand side
  6. Add additional data to other shapes

Hope this helps!

PS: don’t have time for a big DEVOPS project to create an integrative extension to Lucid via your development environment … need it to work, with admin controls OOTB. Thanks
