Hi Naveen,

Add the "{}" braces to the Text element name. this will provide you the custom Text Elements. Please refer to the attachment.

Hi Kishore,

Is there any possibility to get break line in the custom text elements? as our data is exceeding the layout template. if there is any i can apply those changes and can print the rest of the data in the second line.

Thanks,

Naveen

Any idea why the custom text element field in WAB has dynamic text as a predefined value. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
