Extracting Scaffolding Data from Children Pages
This recipe is relevant for page structures containing Parent page to Children page to Descendent:
In the sub-child page, a table can be wrapped inside Scaffolding's Table Data macro.
For example:
It’s possible to configure the Text Data macro inside the table to get user input.
This recipe shows how to extract text from the Text Data macro (nested inside the Table Data macro) and display it as a report on a different page.
