I have a title that is linked to a Excel Spreadsheet as a Data Source and I have run into problems.

I have done these types of shortcuts before on a different computer but now it will not let me enter the spreadsheet value in the shortcut.

The box with the following text will not let me change it

---
"Name of the Data Source and Table Name (optional) eg 'Excel/CSV,Sheet1'"
---

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Same problem for all different DataSource shortcut options

I'm on vMix Pro - 29.0.0.46 and using Microsoft Excel with a Stream Deck +XL

Ah, thank you!
This made me realize my problem, I was trying use a vMix button on the rotate dial on the StreamDeck +XL and that button did not reveal the value box.
Made me also remember that I made work arounds on the other computer. Not to set the dial as a vMix shortcut but make it a regular Stream Deck Hot Key.
