I haven't used 4D Write in - a long, long time. Like before my hair was gray long. So, I'm hoping someone will enlighten me as I start looking at it again.
1) I get that I can insert fields into a 4D doc. What about object fields? Can I embed references to properties of an object field? 2) Can I embed variables? I'm hoping for something like the functionality of Process by tags. 3) if I can't do either of those how do I go about managing my own template management? Back when I designated custom tags and would do a find & replace. How do you do that now? 4) Let's say instead of the approach above, where I'm trying mimic a MS Word/mail merge kind of thing, I want to build a document from database data. Maybe I have a selection of 'stuff' (records, collection elements, etc.) I want to loop through and write as text blocks. Think of a lease or contract for example. I want the user to be able to setup a template to look the way they like and then my code loops through the data, assembles the words and writes them to a new document. How do you do that? I'm looking forward to becoming a fan.
