Logic Working in Layout, not in Sequencer

    OK, odd bit of business going on here. and I am not at liberty to post the scene, so I am going to do my best to explain it here with screen shots and see we can figure out why this might be.

    So, I have this scene which exists in 2 states.
    - In the first state, there is the geometry structure that holds the graphics panel, and the info animates on attached to this geo.
    - In the second state, the geo is turned off via a published toggle, and the the graphic animates on in place in a different manner. To accomplish this, I essentially have a duplicate of the graphic panel / info which becomes visible when the geo is turned off.

    So far so good.

    In order to prevent the template links from doubling in size, I have logic set up so that Stat 1 (of 6) drives the text of Stat 7 - which is the stat 1 of the second group. This too is working fine.

    Here's where things get tricky... Because of the way this text is formatted, i had to set up a logic that would make the stat panel shift to the right on X as the length of the category text increases. This too works perfectly in both layout and sequencer for the original version with the support geo. However, in the no-geo version, this logic works perfectly in Layout, but not at all in sequencer.

    As a test, I disconnected the text links and published cat-7, tested THAT in sequencer, and it works. So, what I gather from this is that the bounding box width scaled property is not being interpolated in sequencer when the text is being driven by a secondary text object. I really want to avoid having to publish 6 additional text fields - especially when none of the other 10 such graphics I have made in this set of side slabs have need of it - So I am wondering if there is either a way to get that bounding box width scaled to be interpolated in sequencer the way it is in layout, or a different manner of of logic I can use to accomplish the desired task.

    The screen shots below show the graphic with and without, the logic driving the displayed text, and the logic which drives the x-shift of the text group for both the geo and non-geo versions.

    NVM I figured it out
