Mit meiner Erfahrung und meinem Fachwissen als <a href="http://www.kleinanzeigenwelt.com/hochzeit.php">Tamada NRW</a> werde ich sicherstellen, dass Ihre Hochzeitsfeier reibungslos abläuft und dass Sie sich an jedem Moment Ihrer Feier erfreuen können. Ich werde mit Ihnen zusammenarbeiten, um sicherzustellen, dass Ihre Feier Ihren Erwartungen entspricht und Ihren besonderen Tag zu etwas ganz Besonderem macht.

Please ensure that text variables (including live captions) are not only breakable but also capable of being formatted with GREP styles and nested styles. For running headers that rely on paragraph styles, I propose introducing a new option which allows users to retain selected character-level formatting changes from the source paragraph. These changes could include alterations in typeface, style modifications (such as bold, italic, or small caps), and colour changes.

Often the format of the source paragraph differs from the desired format for the running header. To enhance practical usability, it would be beneficial to, for example, allow only the italic formatting from both italic and bold italic source text to be carried over to the variable. Conversely, bold formatting from bold or bold italic source text should be omitted (not retained) if the source text is bold but the running header is intended to be in regular. By enabling users to select which style changes should be transferred to the variable, it would be possible to maintain useful style changes while eliminating undesired ones.

An alternative approach to this challenge could involve allowing users to precisely define a character style mapping, similar way like character styles mapping during text import. This style mapping would then become an integral part of the running header variable definition, allowing it to be applied on the fly.

Adding another request to provide this feature, for all the reasons mentioned in the previous posts.

This is getting OLD.

Enough with this "We have added this feature in our backlog" nonsense.
Let's get this fixed, guys! I have this issue with approx. every third Indesign project I work on.

Please add it, so this doesn´t happen

Also, we need the ability to cross reference to text variables, please.

What's the hold up? What are we paying for every month if not having issues like this addressed?

It's been over 6 years now. What position is this in the backlog now?

Photoshop can now use AI to draw us photorealistic images of anything we want, and just we're over here waiting literal decades for the ability to make some text wrap to the next line.

This feature would be highly appreciated!

Text Variables are completely useless without this feature - literally pointless aside from running headers.

Yes please! Another feature years in the making...2017...wow!

Just adding my voice to this so we can maybe get this issue from 2017 out of backlog in 2023.

without this implemented text variables are just a broken feature!

Ok when will this be in development (Backlog since 2017)?
This is really annoying how InDesign works with these variables and causes many workarounds to think about when you prefer to automate things.
Please start to change this - would love to see any change in one of the next versions.

Can we also have it so that we can have the option for file name extensions? I'm sick of removing them post file change.

This issue is still not addressed – and renders variables unusable in many different scenarios. Text in variables needs to behave as just that. Text.
From a programmer's view, this should be a relatively simple thing to fix – yet here we are. Still.

@Abhinav Agarwal - Is this very important behavior STILL on the list? Your message is now about five years old, so it seems to be very, very low priority. And yet text variables are a central feature of any text presentation app.

I'm worried that this whole area of improvement may never happen.

Good grief, yes! All variable text MUST be part of the flow that GREP sees. Variables surely would be expanded before passing the paragraph on to GREP. Surely ... !

I arrived at roadblocks in Text Variables over the past two days. First, I discovered that the full range of metadata contained in Lightroom is not available via Text Variables, and then, Second, I discovered that Text Variables does not play well with GREP. Yes, please, bring new life to Text Variables!
