Using the same value twice / multiple times?

Open clarklab opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Is there a way to use the same value multiple times inside a single frame? Example: I've got a movie cover that shows the movie title in 3 different places. Each cover will be a different movie, but inside each cover I need to use the same title 3 times over. Is that possible?

Describe the solution you'd like Currently when I use the plugin, each instance of #Title gets a different title from the list. So a single movie cover gets 3 different movie titles added to it. Is there a way to "respect" the main frame as the parent and then repeat the data inside that parent? Basically I need the loop to run like this, only incrementing for a new parent frame:

Parent frame: #Title: A Christmas Story #Title: A Christmas Story #Title: A Christmas Story

Parent frame: #Title: A League of Their Own #Title: A League of Their Own #Title: A League of Their Own

Describe alternatives you've considered So far I haven't been able to think of a way to pull this off, without repeating data inside my spreadsheet, which seems like a bad idea.

Additional context I think this could come in handy in lots of other design scenarios. Picture something like a blog design, where often the same author is listed at the top and bottom of the article.

Any ideas? Or am I just reading the docs wrong?
