use formula in A2+ WB constraints properties - offset

[MishaLjusha]

Hi.
My "data"

Build type: Release

Hash: 399863d7e37b354fea6687767605e661beace504
Python version: 3.8.6+
Qt version: 5.15.2
Coin version: 4.0.1
OCC version: 7.5.0
Locale: Slovenian/Slovenia (sl_SI)

My problem:
I use FC for small woodworking projects. In assembly (which I do with A2+) I mainly use Plane Coincident Constraints, many times with OFFSET option. I can set FIX offset but my "wish" is to make it somehow parametric i.e. enter formula like <<Spreadsheet>>.OffsetDistance or maybe <<Spreadsheet>>.B10 instead of fixed number.

There is no blue fx sign In offset "control", only Up and Down buttons

I was trying to find some "alike" topic on this forum, but i haven't find nothing that could help me .
I have also tried to do something in/from Python console but I only get
>>> # Gui.Selection.addSelection('Unnamed1','planeCoincident_015') ---> changes are not "recorded"
I also tried >>> Gui.Selection.addSelection('Unnamed1','planeCoincident_015').Offset = ... but it doesn't work.
I get following error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Offset'

Any suggestions, solutions, help
PLS
Regards

MishaLjusha... Did you ever solve this problem? I have been searching for a solution myself

Insert a Spreadsheet and Change it's 'Label' property away from default.
It should then be available to use as per normal.
After any Modifications of the offsets you must 'recalc' your constraints.
