Here’s a little video of me creating a button that pulls the channel name from the console, in this case, ch 1 on the console is named “Kick”. (what a surprise, eh?)

[Dynamic Name/Color in SCP Module](https://www.checkcheckonetwo.com/forum/showthread.php?1725-How-to-use-the-dynamic-button-name-color-feature-in-SCP-module&p=7938&viewfull=1#post7938)

Just follow the same workflow to pull the channel colors from the console strips.

So for this to work, I have to set it all up, disable and enable the instance, and then it shows the label name and/or color. Same for the fader on status for that mater.

For it to refresh, you need to do one of 4 things:

1. Change the name or color on a channel using Companion or the console.
2. Recall a scene using Companion or the console.
3. Disable/Enable the instance or restart companion.
4. Add or edit the feedback on the button that has Name/Color feedback.

Feedback comes from the console so that you can make a change on the console or SD and see the change on the SD.

Is it working as expected or are you finding issues?
