How do I add the data, from a specified attribute field in my DDP index layer, as dynamic text onto my DDP page? I've studied the insert - dynamic pick list with DDP pages enabled. Ken
Is it possible to get an attribute value and place it into dynamic text? I have a python script that iterates over an attribute field, and I would like to record the field value as dynamic text as my layout changes.
I have a layout with three sets of data with a common field. I have a script that will use the common field and create a definition query to display only the relevant value being iterated over. I was hoping for a method of adding the value being presented as dynamic text or through some other python (arcpy.mapping) process. Not using DDPs for this workflow.
You could do the same thing using Data Driven Pages, page definition queries, and dynamic text, if you're fine with not using a script. You can set page definitions on any layer that contains the index field for the data driven pages. Alternatively, I don't know of any way through Python to have dynamic text.
I will investigate Page Definition Queries. They might work, but I need three FCs to react the same (set to same definition) and have about a dozen values in the relevant attribute field to try with.
