Dynamically Adding Barcode Value

Of course, Designer's true power lies in dynamically generated reports, and barcodes are no exception. The AztecBarcode layout element allows dynamically specifying the value property as a JSON data field name surrounded by pounds, for example, #upc#.

  "Coffees": [
    {
      "ProductID": 568,
      "Type": "Arabica",
      "Variety": "Arusha",
      "Price": 7.33,
      "upc": "12345678901"
    },
      ...
