Dispatch - Retrieve folder card variable and write to dispatch variable?

Hello everyone,

 

I am hoping that someone could help me retrieve a folder card variable and write it to a dispatch variable.

I would like to have a dispatch that when a file is Copied&Pasted / Moved (On-Add) to a new project folder it retrieves variables of the folder where the file is being applied. Then writes those variables to the file card.

 

Thanks,

 

Brad

Brad,

Dispatch can't do this, it's a current limitation.

 

Dispatch can grab the file card variables but not folder card variables, folder names, and current folder path.

On the other hand, in the file card editor, you can set the file card to inherit the parent folder card values. Not sure how this will play with your add-on...
