I need to assign datalinq to published objects. It works fine so far for text objects with the following script:

The easiest way to do this would be using "dynamic materials". There are a few things you would have to do first, but basically you would link a hidden text field to the material you wanted, and use that to set the material. Let me know if you want to go down that road.

Thanks for your reply.

This is how I solved it finally (if someone is stumbling over this thread, with the same problem)

I changed all my quads to datalinq manually since it does not seem to work by scripting like for textobjects.

(Feature-request: change Data Source on multiple selected objects) 

Then I assigned all datalinq keys with a script in the scene director. So I didn't have to assign 100+ objects manually and can easily make changes if the incoming data structure changes. The scene director with the script is run manually in Layout mode once. So I can even make all the values static in Sequence if needed.

I place a loop script on a scene director to avoid having to assign it manually every time. 

Not exactly what you asked for but this is how I do it. 

'Set Datalinqs

for i as integer = 1 to 9

Dim stat as xpTextObject

scene.GetObjectByName("DATA RAW Jersey " & i, stat)

stat.Datalinq.LinkName="Dak_XML_Scoreboard"

        stat.Datalinq.Column="Table\Row"

stat.Datalinq.Row="@Team.Dak_XML@_LINEUP_0" & i &"_NUMBER"

   stat.Datalinq.RefreshLinqsOnChange = false

Next
