Is it possible to add mutiple text labels to an item that each use placeholders from the items data?  I am able to add a single text label by selecting an item and just start typing.  That specific label can contain one or mutiple placeholders; however, I am not able to add a second text label that is linked to the item and display a placeholder.

Please see below a screenshot of a connector the one text label linked to the %From% placeholder (displaying its assigned value) and a second text label added that will not display the assigned %To%.

Is this just not possible or am I missing something basic to assign the second text label to the item and use the placeholders?

Found it!!

On the additional text labels, open "Edit Data".  No Properties need to be added here (unless needed), just check the Placeholder option for the additional textk box.
