    Displaying user input on a report

    How can I put a field in the Header section of a visual builder report next to Date Range that displays the contents of the Answer1 variable? Answer1 is the start date of the report that users are asked for.

    The steps are:

    1. Insert a Field object

    2. Create a variable name that does not clash with any existing variable name or field in the database and put it against Code:

    E.g., XXX1

    3. Make sure your Display Length is large enough to display whatever you want to display

    4. Click on Formula tab and enter this formula:

    Return Answer1

    Change 'Answer1' to whatever variable you want to display on the form or report.
