Can the text of a boilerplate (text) object be changed dynamically at
runtime? Say, in the Format Trigger?

A Format trigger only says "show it" or "hide it"
due to some conditions.

Dynamic Texts in Boilerplates are AFAIK only
possible using something like this:

BP text:
"The candidate &name won 100 points"

And &name is replaced at runtime with :name from the report query

SELECT
...
name,
...
FROM winners;

Or it can also be a column placeholder :CP_Name or a column formula
:CF_name.

"The candidate &CP_name won 100 points"
"The candidate &CF_name won 100 points"

One problem remains in the layout, when the text formattings change
with the length of the :name.
