for Textbox1 create a data field (aka property) and for its value put the following

=LABEL(this)

it will display the label of Textbox1 it will look something like this: cEx3kxzL~1CZ

then create as many properties as you want id text whatever. Name the properties properly because you'll need to call them later

--

then for Textbox2 create a data field or property and put the following formula:

=FINDSHAPEBYLABEL("cEx3kxzL~1CZ")."id"

as you can see the second formula goes as follows 

=FINDSHAPEBYLABEL("block label")."property name"

and it will call back any property value from Textbox1 into Textbox2

--

by the way I couldn't find the second formula anywhere in the documentation I think Lucid needs to do better in that regard I guessed it by typing "label" or "find" or "get" in the formula field and see what the results are and trying them

--

Hope this helps

This is perfect.  

Thanks!

Cheers!

Hi William and Jumana 

Thank you for your responses and for your feedback! I wanted to share an additional method in case you or anyone else might find it helpful. Here are the steps to have a property or value from one shape reflected in another shape:

In Textbox 1:

1. Input the property and value


2. Identify the label for Textbox1:

• Create a new data field.


• Retrieve the auto-generated label for your shape using the formula: =label(this)


• In the data toolbox: copy the auto-generated label for Textbox1

In Textbox 2:

1. Create a new data field.


2. Name the property


3. Input the formula =#”(paste the auto-generated label for Textbox1 here)”.”(paste the title of the property from Textbox1 that you want reflected here)”

*Tip: to make any property or value visible in the shape click the T+ symbol on the right in the data toolbar

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
