Is there a way to get the level of a channel to display as the text of a button? I specifically would like to see the level of a channel in a specific aux.

Welcome, @landinhull!
It’s very easy with the latest build from [here](https://discourse.checkcheckonetwo.com/t/custom-companion-build-for-yamaha-and-a-h/2248).
The steps are:
1. Create a custom variable to hold the mix send level
2. Create a feedback for the button using the `@(internal:custom_)` format to set the value. No other feedback parameters are needed (button colors, etc.) Click the `$` beside any value that uses a numeric spinner to change it to `#` which allows you to type the text.
3. Add the variable into the button text using the `$(internal:custom_)` format to show the value.
See here for what the button and variable settings look like.

@Andy,
This looks great! I am struggling being able to type text into the feedback level. I don’t have the option button between $ and #. Is there something I need to do to get that button to show up? I am on version 2.4.0 on MacOS.
Thanks!
