This is a screenshot of my layer and their attributes which from i want to make dynamic text.

  • for the moment i need the value of the attribute, it would be nice even to know how to add layer name, field name or attribute and the possibility to combine different field attribute for example CZ||'-'||CZ_NAME

Use a "text label" object and define an expression with the attribute name inside

for example, if you need the value of CZ_NAME attribute of your coverage layer (the coverage layer is the one you choose as such when activating the atlas settings):

[%"CZ_NAME"%]

if you want to concatenate with another attribut value and text use :

[%concat("CZ" ,'-', "CZ_NAME") %]

  • No, its related to the same topic so im not opening another question. What i meant is what if i want to take attribut not from coverage layer but from another layer in the layer panel

  • You mean, you want to concatenate attributes from 2 different layers ? you should create join or relation on the QGis layer/project before. Then you wil get attributes on the coverage layer.
