Live data link caption

Datalinks in Configure could be given a caption which would dictate the text in the offline state. Very useful for identifying what the datalink is without clicking on it and looking at the data source expression.  I can not find a way to do this with data links in graphics studio. Instead i just get "DATADATADATADATA"

Am i missing something?  I just can't find anything.

    You aren't missing anything, there is no "engine" running in graphic studio like Operate had VBA engine that was running in Edit and Run modes. You can have a text block that would link to a variable/string and it would show that but your linkages would have to use the same variable for it to be "correct" (in theory...never tried this)
