Populating text boxes with document properties (Adobe Configurator)

[rlesterphx]

I'm trying to use Configurator 4.0 to make a custom Photoshop panel.  I have it laid out (see attached) but I'm stuck on how (or if) I can populate the blank text boxes with their respective property values for the active document.  Is there some kind of placeholder string I can use?  Or will they need to be set using a script in the On Panel Intialization box?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Even better: Can you recommend a good site where I could post this as a project and pay someone to finish it?

What version of photoshop are you making the panel for?

You should be aware that configurator panels will not work in photoshop versions after photoshop cc 2014, because adobe switched from flash to HTML for the panels.

Ah, yeah I'm on the latest version (20.0.6). Is there a newer tool? I looked at a couple panel builders on Adobe Exchange but they seemed pretty limited -- Like just for making your own "favorite tools" type panel.

Unfortunately, at this point the process for building HTML panels for photoshop seems to be much more of a manual process than it was with configurator.
