Is there a way to customize the text or rich text component to populate data from a column? For example, I am trying to have a user experience where the user selects a profile and a new detail screen pops up with text using the selected profile’s name automatically.

Hi @Michael_Zaps,

You mean you have a code added in the rich text for display user’s name or a text added in the text component! But you want this to be dynamic like once the user clicked on another user’s profile show that user’s name with that code or text right? You can create a template column and display that!

Thank you
