Using Partial Substitution for Dynamo User Prompts

You can configure a Dynamo to allow partial substitution for property values. For example, you may want to allow the user to enter a different NODE.TAG for a Dynamo property value but keep a static field. To do this, you need to enter the User Prompt surrounded by brackets and use asterisks for static values.

The following example illustrates how you might use partial substitution for a Dynamo's property setting.
