error when inserting text from the shape properities for an import share from cisco visio stencil. 

formula looks correct 

 

none of the shape properties work, other shapes that are not from the imported visio stencil work.

Hi @georged, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! To overcome this error, you’ll need to reference the shape ID (#"id here") instead of “this,” using this formula: {{=#"id here".'network name'}}

To determine the shape's ID, add a new custom data property to the original shape using =this.$id and then copy that into your formula. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
