What is a dynamic text

Dynamic texts are pieces of what you write in a process box that is getting replaced as you go with a value.
Dynamic texts are short-codes that display up to date information automatically based on the properties of the source information. You can place these dynamic texts into a process box (Activity Box, Whybox, Note Box etc) anywhere on the process to display process information. 

Example: typing {{ process_owner_name }} will display the current process owner's name.

Dynamic texts are most often used in Diagram Templates.
