Hi All,
I might of found a bug OR im just doing it wrong.

If i SetDynamicValue1 to "2"
then call Dynamic1 as Value in shortcut SetMultiViewOverlay and input as 5
so in the value box, it should read "2,5" (Dynamic1,5)
I get error that its invalid format

BUT if i use SetDynamicInput1 to "5"
and inside the value box for shortcut SetMultiViewOverlay i put "2,Dynamic1" - so it should read "2,5" - that works

Is there an issue using SetDynamicValue1 and calling Dynamic1 to set the value as the layer number you are trying to change in SetMultiViewOverlay shortcut?

Believe it has to do with how Dynamics are called within the shortcut.
Once it sees the dynamicValue being recalled it takes it as one and ignores the rest of the Value input in the shortcut, it checks the DynamicValue content for proper syntax which in this case doesn't rather than just taking it as is and add the rest of the Shortcut Value content which doesnt happen when the Value contains a DynamicInput (takes the content ,sees a dynamic and replaces that content within the Value string in the same verification check as done for the Value.

Is why so far a script has been used to pull the DynamicValue and add the Input to the string before executing the function with the combined value ( as string)

Could call it a bug unless vMix has a programming reason for it

right, that makes sense.. would be interesting to know if it was done that way on purpose and why.
