Variable and data binding in object with type 'Text'(AdobeForms)

It is possible to store a variable with a specific data binding in an object with type “Text”, which only contains text. Because objects with type “Text” can actually only contain text.

However, there are often requirements to insert a certain placeholder, i.e. a variable, into a text and to store this exactly with a data binding.

This variable in the text is represented with curly brackets.

Example:

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

we still have not received any payment. If we are unable to record receipt of payment by {target date}, [...].

The {target date} can be bind:

1. An object of type 'Text' must be created

2. Click inside the object so that the text can be changed

3. Right click → press field in continuous text

4. Now the object in the text has a variable in curly brackets
