thank you both for your quick and kind replies! i got the gist of it from the SA articles (agree with you
@Automatech very light documentation on this) but still couldn’t figure out why my mobile page element was not showing. finally, i figured out the trick with a little help from NS support. turns out, to display a custom field’s value, you do have to make it type=“dynamic text” and i was missing the message field. you have to include the field ID in there with some special syntax based on where you’re pulling it from and what process you’re pulling it into. in my case, i was pulling a field off of the Sales Order line into the single order picking process, so i had:
{{record:salesorder:{{state:dataRecord:auxParams:singleOrderPicking_ordersList:internalid}},item:line:{{state:dataRecord:scriptParams:transactionLineId}}-custcol_field_id}}
