Hi Everyone,

I have a problem, that I can not really solve, please do help me out if you know a a way to solve this:

I have a dynamic block that shows an antenna from the top and from the front. The aerial has a serial number and other info that should be displayed close to the frontal and upper view too (the very same data twice, because on the drawing one has to identify the antenna based on something).

I want to insert attributes into the block that clone the values of the "master" attribute (let's say the first to be inserted) upon insertion of the block. The frontal and upper views of the antenna have to be moved separately and their respective attributes should follow them. And the two views have to be in one block since upon a click on one of the views one instantly see it's pair.

I tried to insert attributes and link their value to a field (object-first/master block value). But that does not really work the value will not dynamically change upon editing the first attribute's value.

*If I insert a field inside the block editor it will never update itself, upon changing the master attribute - the regen command does not help.

**What I can do is to get the block done, than in the model view insert fields that clone the values of the "master" attributes. But how can I make them move together with the block and auto-update? Since hitting regen continously will make my colleagues go mad (plus me too :-)).

Best regards

P.S.: Sorry if the description is a bit messy, but the issue bugs me a lot and it is hard to describe.

Thank you very much for answering. Sorry I did not know, next time I will check out that part before posting. Thanks again!

**As I see it in this "Lookup Table solution" I am not able to give unique values to the attributes, I can only choose from preset ones, that I defined in the block editor. Is there a workaround for this?
