How do you replace fields in a PDF Monkey Template with values from Glide? FYI built template using the visual editor.

Here is my template

Here is the action

But nothing gets replaced in the file output I still see the {1} {2}, {3} in the generated PDF.

My test data is usually defined like this.

Then I reference them like this in my code.

Guess in your case that should look like {{1}} in the template, and “1” only in the action configuration, but I don’t know much about visual templates.
