Question:
I have a dynamic page bound to my “Extractors” dataset.
In the “Title” column, it has text like:
{Name} is a great app

I want an expression kind of like this:

SUBSTITUTE(title, ‘{Name}’, dynamicDataSet.title)

I cant figure out how to access a property on the current item in the dynamic page’s data set.

What are you trying to achieve:
A want to replace tokens in text using a dynamic page’s data item to assist in the replacement.

Maybe you should elaborate more.

  1. SETUP
  2. DESCRIPTION
  3. PICs
  4. DATABASE-SETUP

SUBSTITUTE → is a function like it looks like?

function SUBSTITUTE(title, name, dynamicTitle) {
      console.log(title);
      console.log(name);
      console.log(dynamicTitle); 
}

Working with DYNAMIC-DATASETS/PAGES…

$w.onReady(()=>{
     $w('#myDynamicDatasetIDhere').onREady(()=> {
          let curItem = $w('#myDynamicDatasetIDhere').getCurrentItem();
          console.log('Current-Item: ', curItem);
     });
});

You will get as RESULT something like…

/*  itemObj:
 *
 *  {
 *    "_id":                "fcec780a-3e37-4b64-8a66-37c552c53f99",
 *    "_owner":             "f6c0f9c3-a62d-7e9f-g58d-943829af244d9",
 *    "_createdDate":       "2017-05-01T17:19:03.823Z",
 *    "_updatedDate":       "2017-05-01T17:19:10.477Z",
 *    "title":              "Dr. ",
 *    "name":               "B",
 *    "link-dynamic-name":  "/myCollection/B"
 *  }
 */

Once you got the current-Item, decide what to do next → next step!
