I’m having some issues utilizing the Popup action to change the title of a popup dynamically.

I have strings stored within the PLC (think PlantPAX) that I want to be able to use in the title of a popup. This way I would be able to just have a single popup for a device and not have to change each instance of calling it.

I would make a title within the view that I’m using in the popup but it looks bad when I leave dragging on.

Hi @b.peck, you could use the scripting action instead and use the system.perspective.openPopup() function. You should be able to pass in any title you like there.

[Here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.perspective.openPopup) is the documentation regarding the scripting function.
