Need to get a User Defined Name from Text Object in List Box Title on Selection

Hi All,

I have created multiple text objects as a filter. I have assigned a variable which is associated with the attributes in the table. I need to show the user defined attribute name in the list box title on selection of the text object and not the actual attribute name from the table.

How to achieve this?

I did it for three buttons so that you can understand the concept of what I was trying to do. See if this helps

I need to show the Text which is highlighted in yellow and not the actual attribute name from the table.

Suppose the actual attribute in the table is DistinctTable.LeadVehicle. But I need to show it as Lead Vehicle. Please see the attached screen shot of the text object properties.

On left side I have text object. Text Object acts as a button in my case. I have assigned a variable to it. On click, the listbox title should show "LEAD VEHICLE" and not "DistinctTable.LEAD_VEHICLE". Hope this clears my question.

Within your button create another variable and call it vTitle and assign it the value of Lead Vehicle. And then within your listbox object use the vTitle as your chart title's expression.
