**Block Information**

Available in: Page Flow

Block Type: [Output](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block)

Output Type: [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md)
{% endhint %}

**`Get Input Value in Data Design`** is an [output block](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#output-block) that allows you to retrieve the value of [Input](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/input.md), [Dropdown](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/dropdown.md) and [Multi-line](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/multi-line.md) elements that were generated using the [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block and dynamically added to the page or form.

The output is of type [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) and is compatible with [Value Parameters](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) of type [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) or of type [*any*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md).

The behavior of the block is similar to the [Get Input Value](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/get-input-value.md) block, with some important differences:

* Element Selection: You can only choose an element placed inside the selected [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element.
* Works only with elements generated using [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block that are dynamically added.

The block consists of the following (from top to bottom):

* *Data Design*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md) element whose element you want to target.
* *Element*: [Selectable Input](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#selectable-input) to choose the element, within the selected [Data Design](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/data-design.md), you want to get the value of.
* *ID*: Mandatory [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the unique value that was provided to the [Content from Data Design](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/content-from-data-design.md) block.
* *ID2*: Optional [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the secondary identifier that can be used to identify the desired element. See below for more details.
