    Is there a way to create a hotkey which would turn datalinqs to static text? And if so does anyone have the script to accomplish

    Do you want to run this macro in the Sequencer or Layout?

    Sequencer. Basically I have a baseball pitcher graphic which is datalinqed. But when he comes out of the game I make a copy of the graphic and need to static all the fields so it doesn't change when the new pitcher comes in. It is a function I can do using mouse but trying to make it quicker with a single keystroke.

    Bill,  I believe I just figured this out today. Not sure if it's exactly the same as what you use case needs.  I just did it with the F8 key using the "Keyboard/GPI Mapping..." under the edit menu.  Under "Local Shortcuts (requires component to have focus)" function section ->Sequencer-."Change Datalinqs to Text".  Then in the Shortcut details tab under the Function section, I just assigned F8 as my shortcut by hitting Set "F8".  You could use any key I would assume.  It has been working really well for me today being able to change groups of Take ID items to Static with one press.
