Magic Sheets - linking data

I am confused about how to create "buttons" in the magic sheet that directly link to the data that the buttons are supposed to represent. I have watched several videos and read the manual thoroughly but this topic does not seem to be addressed. 

I have created a nice looking magic sheet. In the demo video that a use made, if he clicked on a button that says "Channel 5" Then the input in the command line would then say channel 5 and give him control of the channel. However, when I do it, I get "Channel - syntax error"

Please help!!

  • The "Object", a button in this instance, needs to be linked to a function, such as "Channel XX".  

    In Edit mode, click on the button.  In the edit window, below the object choices, you will see Color, then Font, then Target.  In the box below that click the down arrow and you can select from a list and you need to select Channel.  Then in the smaller Target box below that you select which channel number.

    For fast assignment of boxes, highlight all appropriate buttons and make them Channels with no target number,  Then in the upper section of the edit window (Layout Toolbar), you will see a white arrow.  Click on that.  You now get 3 choices, choose the one with a number and hand symbol, this is the Quick Number tool.  You choose to quick number Channels, then give it a starting number and press OK.  Then do a single mouse button press on each box to sequentially assign channel numbers.

    O.K., I have done all of that and this is how I get to this syntax error.
