Cannot bind a variable to an image object

[_monolinea_]

I'm trying to generate documents where the text and an image will be parsed from a spreadsheet. Gotten so far as to import my datasets (with Silly-V's script if that makes any difference), and the text variable is bound to the correct text object. The image variable, however, cannot be bound to my image. I made sure it was a placed (linked) image, but the "make object dynamic" button is grayed out when I try to bind it to the image variable.  I also tried to do it through the VariableImporter script (Bind by name), and it didn't "find" the image when I tested. I have tried with other images, other formats, still no luck.

What can I be doing wrong?

Answering myself in case anyone runs into the same problem: I was trying to use .svg images, which aparently cannot be linked, they're automatically imported. converted them all to eps and it's now working

I'm having this problem - tried jpg, png, eps, ai and a bunch of other things as well. Texts allow me to link them, but the images I place refuse to. What's going on?

Hello Mornlite, could you fix it? I'm having the same problem. Help.

In the place dialog box, make sure to select "Link" as shown in the picture. That will ensure the "Make object dynamic" isnt greyed out

So for me the object that you are binding cannot be in a group. so select everything and ungroup the object, select all items then press cmd+shift+G
