One symbol - multiple text variable

[surajnaikin123]

Feature request:
When can you release a version where one can use a single symbol with multiple text variables.

Hey @surajnaikin123, I think I may have already implemented this.
See https://github.com/DWilliames/Google-sheets-content-sync-sketch-plugin#working-with-symbols

Essentially if you name your layers within the symbol #label and #value then have column in your spreadsheet called Label and Value it should work.

Let me know how you go, if if that doesn't make sense.

[surajnaikin123]

So should the layer of the symbol be named explicitly as 'item.1', so it refers to the whole first row of text variables?

[surajnaikin123]

Ok got it. For now the values has to be in the same row. Is there any way the name of the layer can be named as "#label.1,value.3' or another way you think fit - so that I can refer a specific row & column for one symbol instance.

[DWilliames]

Good idea. Can't at the moment – but I'll look into adding that.

Thank you so much, so far the existing plugin has been nicely added into my workflow and it's definitely helpful. Now I can send an excel to my client and they can change the text as they want. There is just one more feature request, when a longer text gets imported, the multiline text into design changes to a single line. Can the text refresh within confined boundaries of the object or at least just the width. Thanks again.

@surajnaikin123 sorry I didn't reply earlier. The text layer should stay multiline if you set the alignment to be fixed.
