    Hi,
    I am trying to use "Smart string", but I encountered an issue.

    Localize string works well if I assigned "Apples" component in the same node to format argument.

    However, localize string doesn't work if I assigned a different node that has "Apples" component to format argument.
    So I was trying to assign "Apples" component in "This node has Apples component" node to format argument, but i couldn't find the way.
    Could you please let me know how to do that?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I suspect its because in the first example you attached the script however in the 2nd you attached the GameObject. Try opening 2 inspectors and lock one to the Localized script. Then drag the script over to the slot.
