Trigger off a variable change?
Answer

Is there a way to start an action block (trigger) based on a variable changing value? I'm wanting to show the value of a variable (papers remaining) and have the value change to bold and red when the value reaches 0. There are multiple actions that change the value of the variable and I would rather not copy the action block to change the color every place the value can change.

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for posting this on the forum! There is not a way to trigger actions whenever a variable changes, or a way to make Number Inputs bold via actions. However, here are some things that will help you accomplish the same goals.

  • Tags on buttons
  • Procedures
  • Set formatted text (on Rich Text objects)

Hope that helps!
