Dynamic variables for text boxes
Cristian Cotovan
Please introduce a text box type of "variable" and let me define a variable in a composition, in addition to the dynamic text. Example: add a variable somewhere in the composition properties like "Guest Title" and then add a text box in layouts, scenes, throughout the episode, and have them show "Variable: Guest Title". Then change the variable value in one place, and it changes everywhere without changing manually.

Can't you achieve this with Dynamic Markers? That's what I do.

Could be expanded to other field values: color (for text, rectangles, etc), font sizes, etc.

Feature request: the ‘freeform Dynamic text’ should allow us to create a list of variables, e.g. Job Title, and then associate those with the person speaking, so when placing it on the screen it will work the same as the ‘Speaker’ dynamic text.
Alternatively, expand on the ‘Marker’ function with an option to prevent it from showing up in the script and to prevent underlord from using them in chapter creation etc.
