To display the data value, do the following:

  1. Select the asset.

  2. To display the default "Container sort value" of an asset, type the following text inside the Text or Sticky Note asset: {self.containerSortOrder}

  3. Deselect the text to see the result. The data variable is only displayed when editing the text.
