Can we add dynamic parameters?

Hi there,

I’m trying to use Cornerstone to dynamically populate an element’s parameters with the value from an ACF text field, so that all elements can be controlled from the backend. However, it doesn’t seem to be working as expected. Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?

Thank you!

Hey there,

Yes, you can populate a Component Parameter with ACF Dynamic Content. How are you currently populating the parameters with ACF? Please provide screenshots or a video recording.

Thanks.

Hey @ferociousmedia,

It’s not recommended to integrate ACF within the Component itself. Instead, you fill the parameter where you use the Component. For example, I have an Image ACF field for Pages. I add the Component to my field and in the field, I use the ACF Dynamic Content like in my previous screenshot.

yes, but I would like to update all buttons at once with new fields. This is best done by just having one JSON to edit.

Regretfully, that is not currently possible. You currently need to it up like the previous suggestion.

So you are confirming there is no way to have one global parameter for a certain component. It would be helpful, that way we do not have to update the parameters on each individual component?
