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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="list-style: disc outside;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tags on buttons&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Procedures&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Set formatted text (on Rich Text objects)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Video - &lt;a href="https&amp;#x3a;&amp;#x2f;&amp;#x2f;app&amp;#x2e;screencast&amp;#x2e;com&amp;#x2f;VVwhV1p9oR7Bc"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https&amp;#x3a;&amp;#x2f;&amp;#x2f;share&amp;#x2e;smartbuilder&amp;#x2e;com&amp;#x2f;public&amp;#x2f;support&amp;#x2f;onVariableChangeWorkaround&amp;#x2e;mp4"&gt;https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/onVariableChangeWorkaround.mp4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https&amp;#x3a;&amp;#x2f;&amp;#x2f;app&amp;#x2e;screencast&amp;#x2e;com&amp;#x2f;VVwhV1p9oR7Bc"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope that helps!</summary> <dc:creator>Navdeep Dhillon</dc:creator> <dc:date>2025-08-27T16:16:25Z</dc:date> </entry> <entry> <title>Trigger off a variable change?</title> <link rel="alternate" href="https://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&amp;messageId=661410" /> <author> <name>Sandy Powell</name> </author> <id>https://portal.smartbuilder.com/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=&amp;messageId=661410</id> <updated>2025-08-26T20:54:30Z</updated> <published>2025-08-26T20:54:30Z</published> <summary type="html">Is there a way to start an action block (trigger) based on a variable changing value? I&amp;#039;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.</summary> <dc:creator>Sandy Powell</dc:creator> <dc:date>2025-08-26T20:54:30Z</dc:date> </entry> </feed>
