Facility Control

I have a number of items in my Xpression sequencer which are Datalinq linked to discrete XML files (about 50). It would be nice if I could have a parameter in Dashboard displaying one field (PersonName) of each those linked scene pages to confirm the graphic is valid ebfore it is taken. If I display the direct published field from Xpression (xprn.publishedfields.take2.PersonName.text), I get the static text associated with that item, not the dynamically linked xml data. I don't want to change the datalinq to static or it won't update dynamically as the files update. 

Is there a means to have the sequencer static text value always auto update to follow the Datalinq in Xpression, or an alternate means of referencing the field in Dashboard that would provide the dynamic data value? I don't want to have to parse all the xml files in Dashboard instead.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, at this point in time, there is no way to get the datalinq data from XPression to DashBoard.   If you wanted to make a dropdown list that presents the same choice in DashBoard, you would have to parse the xml files in DashBoard as well.

Thanks for the clarification on that Ben. At least I know I'm not missing something obvious. It's not that much work to do in Dashboard for the data I need. Maybe this feature could be considered for a future software release.
