hi, is there a way to change the data linq name via script? (or do it globally per scene, not project)

I have a scene that calls a data linq A.txt , but I want to duplicate it four times to link each copy with datalinqs B.txt, C.txt, D.txt and E.txt. As I have several textobjects that are linked to the datalinqs, I have to manually change each textobject in my scene to the new datalinq files. Also, I can think of several uses for a script like that.

Hi, I hope my post havent been lost in transtation (english is not my primary language)

basically I have a scene, the scene have many text objects that are datalinq'd

Hi Luis,

It sounds like you need to use Datalinq Keys.

There are some tutorial videos about using them here:

If they are in the same row in you excel doc, and your just going down a row each time you can use datalinq keys. Click on your scene object at the very top. Go to datalinq keys tab. Name it something easy like T. Then in your texts datalinq for row type %T%. Go to sequencer side, they you just have one field, the row of your excel doc.

yeah I know that, what I want to do is to duplicate my scene (linked to an excel file "A") and link the dupicate to a different datalinq file (lets say an excel file "B"). Currently, the only way I know is to hunt down every object that its linked, click on it and change the datalinq source ("A" to "B").

Anyway, it was just for an specific thing, so no big deal.
