Hey Chris, using "../" in the formula for "[../qty]" will always pull the parent quantity, regardless of whether the parent's name is dynamic via Text with Tags, etc. I just tested on my end, and that formula is working for me as long as you have numbers for "Hour Per Load" and "Tons Per Load".

it worked thanks.

How do i get the parent to take the name of the child property that changes

Example

[Child Item name] Under slab

so when i change the product the parent name changes along with the child property in the same example as above it would end up being 3/4-1" Gravel under slab for the parent

and if we switched it to Roadbase it would change to Roadbase under Slab


hopefully that makes sense
