Macro structure

You can recreate the example in the editor view:

Steps

Create a Table Data macro (from the Scaffolding app) with the Name: mytable.
This macro creates a dynamic table, which allows users to enter data.
Inside that Table Data macro body, create a table with one column and two rows with a header row titled Test.
In the second row, create a Text Data macro (from the Scaffolding app) with the following parameters:
- Field Name: mytext
- Type: line
- Content Type: text
Outside the Table Data macro, create a Report Block macro.
Within the Report Block macro, create a Local Reporter macro with Key: @self.
Under the Local Reporter macro, create a Report Body macro with the following text in the macro body:
Getting the last entry from Table Data macro:
Under the text within the Report Body macro, create a Report Info macro with Key: data:mytable > collection:last > data:mytext.
