# Dynamic Values

Use values that are present in your dashboard and store them in fields of your form. This feature hugely improves your flexibility and control. In this way, you can also gather information on dimensions and measures from your dashboard without user input! To add have this powerful feature, open up the configuration screen within your extension. Click on the Worksheet-schema tab where the list of your schemas will be shown, click on desired schema and open the Form builder tab.

Under ‘Default value’ header is where you will be able to make your values dynamic. Simply click underneath the Default value header on the schema(s) you wish to change to have dynamic values. You will be presented with a pop up window where you can choose between none, static & dynamic values. When choosing dynamic simply choose your desired worksheet and column within that worksheet. NOTE: Make sure that the data type of the selected column is similar to that of the form field.

Now possible to dynamically add when editing too, the values will be pre-filled by clicking the ‘Use default value to override the current value on edit’

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/writebackextreme/features/tableau-extension/configuration/schemas/form-builder/dynamic-values.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
