Affinity Publisher variables

[Jomy10]

I would like to achieve the following:

In a text field somewhere, I declare that I want to declare that something has to be inserted into the text. When exporting, I want to export n times for a list of values. For each value there will be a different export where that part of the text is replaced by the value.

 

I hope this makes any sense? Is this at all possible?

You may be able to achieve what you want by using the Data Merge function.

It is rather vague.

Hi Jomy10,

If you could provide an example of what you are trying to do we should be able to advise you further regarding this however as Old Bruce has said if this is possible its likely via using Data merge.

Thanks

I was doing some similar research and came across this post and what I believe the OP is wanting to do is similar to Adobe Illustrators variable field function. This variable fields looks to an external file in a csv format. You can see the adobe help here. And yes, Sefif needs to be adding functionality like this that should not be too much overhead to the program and make multiple artboard changes VERY quick!
