Display page title and child pages as dynamic value

Hello, I hope you can help me.
I want to create dynamic text in a navigation bar that displays the current page the user is on and the parent pages.
It’s structured like this:

“Page title” - “Subpage 1” - “Subpage 2” etc.

For the current page, I used the page title as dynamic text. But how do I do this for the parent pages?

I guess you are looking for a breadcrumb functionality.

Rather than using different pages, could you use a single page, hide/show groups to show information previously stored in different pages, and just update the page URL parameter to account for the “page navigation” and extract the “page” info from the URL?

Hello, thanks for the feedback. No, it should run across multiple pages. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to adjust the URL structure to tell the fields which are #item1, #item2, and #item3.

If your page structure is of type tree (children pages have only one parent page), rather than graph (children pages can have several parent pages), you can fake the breadcrumb traceability, i.e. you can hardcode the breadcrumb element with the parent pages.

I wouldn’t encourage this as it can be a maintainability nightmare in case you change the page structure in the future, but will work in case you don’t want to face the hassle of a proper design today.

If you share more details of your particular case we can suggest more design tips.
