SmartBuilder variable notation for objects?

A client recently asked the following:
    Hi. A quick one this time. Instead of using an action to display the current value of some text input into a Text Input object, can I just use notation in double squiggly brackets? I've tried {{TextInput1.value}}, but that doesn't seem to work...  I've got 48 of them, so was just hoping there could be an easier way. no worries 

Great question! You cannot directly reference an OBJECT using variable notation (the curly braces). But here are a couple things that you can do instead using tags (and possibly variables) - https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/tag-list-variable-notation.mp4

Note that in the next update for SmartBuilder, it will be easier to tag multiple objects at once (multiselect and add a single tag to all selected objects).

Hope that helps!
