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 </span></span></span><br /><br />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) - <a href="https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/tag-list-variable-notation.mp4">https://share.smartbuilder.com/public/support/tag-list-variable-notation.mp4</a><br /><br />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).<br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />- NavNavdeep Dhillon2026-06-10T17:26:54Z
