I am trying to use Companion to SetMultiViewOverlay using DynamicInput and DynamicValues. DynamicInputs work great, but DynamicValues do not appear work at all.
What I am trying to do:
In Companion, select a Regular Button and select SetMultiViewOverlay.
MultiView Input = 2UP
Layer = DynamicValue1
Input To Use on Layer = DynamicInput1

If I change the second value (Layer) to a number such as 2 or 3, the above works just great.
But I want to be able to Select a value button on a Companion number pad, Select a DynamicInput and place it in any layer I want.

Is this a current limitation of DynamicValues?

DynamicValues appear to work just fine in other areas, but not in the SetMultiViewOverlay.

Thanks!

SetMultiViewOverlay ( or the new SetLayer) demands for a value a "index,input" string and one has to set the Dynamic value accordingly!

Thanks Doggy!
I have found that using the Built-in Companion Action does not work (Like this)

But using the RUN action works as you mention above: SetMultiViewOverlay Value=DynamicValue1&Input=2UP
Where DynamicValue1 can be an Index,Input combo such as 2,3 OR 2,DynamicInput1

Appreciate the help

A General reminder !

One sets the DynamicInputx and DynamicValuex but calls it in a function with Dynamicx ( = same for both the input and the value within a function)

Some interesting tricks with the use of dynamic in scripts for easy selection in multiviews (@28)
