Filter error when using variable on multiple objects?

[joshcranwell]

Can any help me shed some light on why I cant seem to us a single variable from a CSV file and link it to multiple text string objects?

I've made a video showing you exactly what I'm doing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TX4TrC8glI

So I make text objects and select them both...

I then go to the variables panel and click the Make Text Dynamic button...

I then rename both variables to job_number

I then create my CSV file...

I then load the CSV file by selecting Load Variable Library from the Menu...

I then get this dialog to which I click Yes...

Which then shows this ERROR dialog!

What am I doing so wrong here? Makes no sense.

Surely this has to be software issue? It's completely rendered my application for this if I cannot use a single variable to populate two ojects with the same data.

Hi,

is this a new issue? was it working before an update/upgrade?

Can you confirm the exact version of your software and operating system?

Can you also confirm how you save your CSV. Did you try to open it in a basic text editor to check the structure and resave that. just to 'purge' any extra added by Excel/Numbers

Currently using version 26.5.

This is a new issue. But surely this should work right? The same result on my collegues machines too?

The CSV is generated from a Google Sheet download and I've checked it text editor...

`job_number`
`P2458`

That is the contents, nothing else.

Hi @joshcranwell, could you have a look at my answer here? Does this have any bearing on your situation? My apologies if not. - Mark

HI @m1b , thanks but I don't want to import first? That means i'll manally have to link up aftwards right? I need all variables set before import as this is master template many people to use.  Unless you can elaboate a bit more with the Load Variable Library import being last.
