Using a data master, and records to populate screen
I am trying to leverage a customer data master + with a list of 20+ customer records. I want to pull data from a single row within the record - (name in one location) + (address in another location) etc to populate across multiple screens. I haven't been able to find a specific solution here to this problem.

There are two things you can do:
1) Filter a Data List/Data Grid according to the single row you'd like to show. Create a "Set Value" action, with a calculated value. For the expression, create this expression:
2) Place Input Text Fields onto a screen and create an expression to filter the Data Master and populate each individual Input Text Field. For each, create a "Set Value" action with a calculated value. For the value, create this expression, changing the attribute in the last space each time for each different field.
See an example with both ways attached. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you. In the example you posted, you are filtering the list to a specific name within the record. In my thinking, if the name changed, the expression would break. Is there any other way to point to that record/row/column without hard coding the name into the expression?

Yes, you just need something to filter it by. For example, you can have a search field that you can enter a name in to filter the list.

Understood. I am thinking that it is much easier to actually create a data.master with all of the specifics of a customer view, and just set the value based on each. I think if you all could actually generate variables based on the records created - it would be super easy to do this...without a lot of complexity in building expressions for each input/display.
