I have a lot of Titles with ~10 fields each, like firstname, lastname, etc.
Those Fields are filled by an XML File - Data Source that contain a lot of entries.
So the Column-Dropdown shows me firstname1,firstname2,firstname3,lastname1,lastname2,lastname3, etc.
I already mapped Title 1 to firstname1,lastname1,.. Title 2 to firstname2,lastname2, ... ,etc.
Now I want to Duplicate those existing Titles and map them to a different XML File with the same Layout.
So i duplicated the Titles via "Create Virtual Input".
On the new Titles I open the Title Editor -> Data Source and set the Data Source of firstname1 to XML to XML, then i go to lastname1 and set XML to XML2.
Works so far and shows the new Data.
I know that if I set the column to "Auto", there is the option to "Apply to all Fields in this Title".
But then my already correctly mapped Columns in every Field in this Title are also overwritten with Auto.
Do i have to set the Data Source of every single Field by hand or is there a way to Apply only the Data Source to every Field, without changin the Table, Column, Format?

Maybe i am missing it but isn't the point of using datasources NOT to have multiple "same" titles with different data but a single title with changing content based on the row selected in a datasource ?
If the title field name is the same as the collumn name in a datasource file auto works beautifully

I use vMix to display Sport Results on Live Events.
So there are multiple Rankings in different Categories displayed at the same Time.
Thats why I have to go with multiple Titles.
The Data is delivered by a third Party as an XML on a Webserver, so no way for me to edit the match the field names in the Source.

Thank you for the suggestions, I changed the Setup and matched the titles to the xml ones. But now I encounter something weird: As soon as my "XML Path" has more then 10 entries it adds a dot to the field name. firstname1,firstname2,firstname3,... becomes firstname.1, firstname.2,firstname.3,... So now i can't Automap again, because some titles have a Datasource with less then 10, and some have one with more then 10 Entries Is this a Bug or am i missing something again?

 Screenshot.png (42kb) downloaded 0 time(s).Hi doggy, I have an XML file with a lot of fields (attached) and a title where I have named the fields the same like in the xml. But Auto mapping does not work. So I thought, it might be the problem, that to the XML field names have all an additional ".1". My problem is, that every second field in my XML file gives me a rating (good, bad, equal) of the field before. I would like to use these fields to display an image but in the title editor all text fields are arranged first, so the manual maping of the first field and click on "apply to all" doesn't work.

Most answer have been given in your post in the GT title section! I assume you want all the data rows displayed in one title (hence the convert to row) . Alternatively one can now also select which row to display in a title without converting to row it's not a good idea to try things out with such big data source to figure out your best approach Auto mapping is based on the column names being equal to the ones in the title. ( hence the data source needs to have that being specified also , your xml does not have that, it's not really a table and why even bother converting rows to columns as it is only columns to start with, you have no rows!) For images you have to add the location and file extension to the formatting in the titel datasource editor There is a slight caveat however when applying to all fields that the formatting will be used for ALL items too and these are different for the text and the images. If there is no need for regular updating one can do all for the images first with their specific formatting , and then the text with the standard formatting ( 2 steps instead of one) Personally if all names are sequentially numbered anyways if would go for a script that would loop through them and select and place the items in appropriate places Lot depends how frequently everything has to be used and updated But i also would start with restructuring my data source xml ( if possible) Then again i have no idea what it (title) is supposed to look like

I corrected the fieldnames by .1 in the overlay and know it is working perfectly.
Thanks for your help!
