In Design & Print, Document Template, Dynamic Document, is a field shown as Document Variables. What is the syntax to create a variable and assign a value to it?
Let's say I want a variable something like "Price" and assign a text/string value of "$250". Text/string letters are fine. I've tried the following to no avail:
{Price}="$250"
On some Group Page I will later expect to pull and use/display the variable value and the syntax would be something like:
{Price}
Please give me some examples of working variables in the Document Variables functions.
Look here:

{Price}="$250
Richtig wäre:/That would be correct:
{Print.Property.Price}=$250

Yes, that is the correct way.
You see in the attachement an example in the document variables from me.
Then used this variable on a page with the long variable here
<TextBlock Foreground='#556eaf' VerticalAlignment='Center' HorizontalAlignment='Center' TextAlignment='Center' FontFamily='Ravie' FontSize='38pt|diu' FontWeight='Bold'>{Print.Property.0-B-Betreffend}</TextBlock>{File.Annotations}
And the result in the attachement.
Such global variables inside D&P are very useful.
1. Define the variable and give it a value. No braces, no "
Price=$250
2. Access the variable:
{Print.Property.Price}
See Document Variables (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/impexp_print.htm?dl=hid-38) for additional examples and documentation.
Thanks for the examples and reference to the manual. My searches in the manual for "variables" somehow didn't get to the needed location. Your help here is appreciated.
