Including field value in dashboard element title

Question

I noticed that the latest Dashboard update increased the ability to insert dynamic text in the the title and description of an element.

Does the enhanced functionality include field values, i.e. {field/field_name} ?

I have indicator, pie chart and table elements that are controlled by a category selector of county names. I'd like the selected county name to be part of the title in each element so viewers would be clear what they're looking at.

I don't see a way to do that. With the "Insert {}" button, I'm able to insert Language, Time Zone, and other dynamic text, but there are no field value options.

Am I missing something, or is there a workaround? The indicator is a statistic value type, the pie chart has categories from grouped values, and the table is feature type. Thanks.

That is not an option. Those elements are a collection of many records with any number of values for the attributes in your data. How would it know which specific record to pull the field value from in that situation?

You can however cheat and use a single value list to make a faux title. It's a lot to throw in a response, so I wrote out the steps and some considerations in its own blog post: Dashboards That Pop: Dynamic Element Titles
