Hi,
I've added the Orb Map Popup from the Components Toolbox.
In the map_node_title in the "text" dropdown, there's a variable $(ut). In the map_node_description in the "text" dropdown, there's a variable $(ud).
If I replace those with my own text, they appear in the map popup but then disappear if I move the cursor over the map nodes.

My questions are 1.) what do those variables track back to? I mean where can I enter text that those variables will pull from?
and 2.) Is there a way to keep my custom text from disappearing?

Thanks.

$(ut) and $(ud) are Placeholders. They are pulling text from the User Data Title and User Data Description respectively, of the active node (Node Title and Node Description).

Add your custom text to the User Data of the nodes. This way the skin will automatically update/change according to the current node and your text won't keep disappearing.

Perfect, Thank you so much. Hopefully, there's a way to copy to all nodes as I have 450 of them. :D

EDIT: note to future users, you CAN copy this info to all nodes the same way you can set north for all or other node data. Thanks again
