I'm looking through the documentation and there is this example:
14.2.2.13. Layout Functions
<https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/expression.html#id24>
This group contains functions to manipulate print layout items properties.
Function
Description
item_variables
Returns a map of variables from a layout item inside this print layout
*An example:*
*
Get the scale of the ‘Map 0’ in the current print layout:
map_get( item_variables('Map 0'), 'map_scale')
How do I find out how to get the text value of the layout item
"Filename" on the current print layout?

It is just an ordinary text field on a composer layout I think. I
don't use the atlas functionality.

Good day
I am wishing to create a value in a field on a composer layout that
reads the value of another field on the layout and calculates a
value to
be displayed.
For example, I have an existing field called Filename on the layout and
in a python script running in the main window console, I have this code
that reads the value of the Filename field as follows:
layoutTitle = "Landscape 16:9 Header Nav Copyright Filename 2021"
project = QgsProject.instance()
projectLayoutManager = project.layoutManager()
layout = projectLayoutManager.layoutByName(layoutTitle)
fileNameLabel = layout.itemById('Filename')
fileNameText = fileNameLabel.text()
Obviously I am hoping that doing this from a field within the layout
that reads another field on the same layout will be much simpler than
the above. How exactly would I achieve that?
Just to clarify -- by "field" do you mean "a field value from the
atlas layer", or "a text label item"?
