Hi Guys
I am really stuck here and will truly appreciate your support. Basically, I am trying to pass that “field Key” as a parameter in the following code snap: the field key is from a collection/dataset which stores information about artists including a link to the artist dynamic page(which is normally created by the system when you create setup dynamic page) . I wish to fetch the link and use it to open the individual artist page.

export function LoginButton_click(event) {
 let username = $w('#username').value;
 let passkey = $w('#password').value.r;
      wixData.query("Artist")
      .eq("title", username)
      .eq('StoredPassword', passkey)
      .find()
      .then((results) => {
        if(results.items.length>0)
        {
        let link = results.items[0].link-artist-1-title; //this is where the problem is
         wixLocation.to(link);                          //system doesn't  "-"
        }                                               //as show below
        else if (results.items.length === 0) {
        //$w('#text13').show();
 
           }

        })
          .catch((err) => {
           console.log("err", err);
         });
 
   }

the field key is generated automatically by the system when I created the dynamic page (there is no way to change it). I tried to stored it in string and pass

it like this,

let temp = "link-artist-1-title"; //store the string in a variable
then...
ink = results.items[0].temp; //won't work

also you can't passed like this

ink = results.items[0].'link-artist-1-title'; //won't work

I am willing to provide more information upon your request.

This post helped me after hours of trying to send a dynamic link via email. I used the step where I saved the known key as a temperary variable in an array, and referenced that value while referring to the item being retrieved from the the dataset. Thank you for that idea.
