I'm writing an APP to create events for soccer matches. I've created CSV files with data which works on the scoreboard, defining team names, showing score updates the format of my CSV files is this: Clock,Home,Away,HomeScore,AwayScore 00:00, RAITH, DAFC, 2, 2 I'd like to be able to setup a connection from the datasource to teh StartCountdown of the scorboard. I have this as a shortcut and use it via StreamDeck I'm not sure how to do this to set data in the CSV file, can it be done ? I've a screenshot of the scoreboard thanks for any help  vmix_scoreboard.doc (2,895kb) downloaded 9 time(s).

Maybe refrase you question in English please What exactly do you want to achieve? getting data from your CSV file into a title , look up connecting datasource to a title (videos) or maybe its when you press a streamdeck button you want the time and other data displayed in the title to be added to a csv file In this case there is no "connection" with the title to a datasource and will need to make a script ( or code your app, look at the scripting for dummmies post in this forum ) . Then again the title includes "start a clock/timer using a datasource" so what is it ? the screenshot is of the title editor , no your scoreboard!

thanks, and apologies for confusion.
I am producing the CSV file from a web page, saving file as CSV and then setting up vmix datasource to connect to the remote file on server.
the reason I'm doing this is to have a remote user helping set up the data for the stream (often we are short of resources or space at the event and this would help)
I mentioned Stream Deck as I know how to deal with it there.
I can set the 'CLock' field to the start time e.g 00:00 or 45:00
In StreamDeck I start the timer using shortcut using function StartCountdown.
The reason for showing the Title Editor was to show the fields in the input scoreboard.
my question: is there a way to specify in the CSV file a parameter to allow the clock to be started or stopped.

Yes there is. you need an extra column in your csv file containing the parameter and an extra field (invisible to the viewer) in your title (or use another title). Then Write a vb.net script within vMix to read the parameter from the title, use some logic and execute the command for the countdownclock

ah, the vb.net script is the way to do that.
I can add an extra parameter in file no problem.
I'll need to learn how to run the vb.net script so will invesy=tigate.
thank you very much for your help.
