Change Pattern Overlay via Option Set Setting

I need users to be able to click a swatch that changes which pattern is overlaid on the text field. The only way to do this currently is by making a whole new layout for each different pattern which is a huge time sink.

Hello Dan B! Thanks for sharing your need. I see exactly what you mean. One commonly used approach is to apply text as a mask. By masking a dynamic image with the text, you can easily provide pattern options. I hope you find this helpful!

Augusto D'Amario Thanks for this. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a way to do this and have an outline on the text. Unless you have a suggestion as to how to achieve this?

Dan B: In that case, you can use a second text layer with a stroke and a transparent fill, using the same ID as the mask text. This will give your text an outline while keeping the mask effect. Feel free to reach out to me at augusto@customily.com if you need any further help.

Augusto D'Amario thank you. I will send you an email. I had tried that approach but had issues with the text aligning properly, but I’ll give it another go. Thanks again!

Augusto D'Amario - Hey - sent you an email last week, hoping you got it. Still having issues with the left and right aligned mask text actually becoming center aligned on the product. They're not center aligned in the preview, but they appear that way on the product.
