Im creating a visio template to provide a preset drawing background with logos, rams, a header etc.
Im trying to set text fields in a document header to certain values which can be set in the first page's (data page) shape data.
I tried two ways of doing this, which resulted in two different (but equally annoying) bugs.
The first way (which you can see in the example template) is this:
Shape Data for the first page exists, values can be set there.
User defined cells in the TheDoc Shapesheet are set to Pages[Projektdaten]!ThePage!Prop.xyz (which sets them to the same value as the shape data of the data page.
Then text fields which should show the data are set up with =TheDoc!User.xyz and show the data.
Problem with this solution is: when creating new shapes etc. and trying to copy them into stencils / other documents you get "Error 318 - Prop.Value[26]".
Second solution i tried:
Text fields directly reference the Shape Data of te data page. This works (no Error 318), but i get a rather funky bug:
When creating a new document by opening the Template (not edit, just open), and NOT viewing every single page in the document once before saving the next time you open the document, values won't update anymore, the formulas are still intact though.
Since both of these ways seem to produce some sort of bug Id like to, well, not have, Im asking if someone has another idea on how to do this.
