My previous post concerned using a global key command to change the layer of counters that had ‘Fired’.

Is it possible to use the Global Key Command to change a Text Label on counters?

The counters contain a Text Label called ‘Endurance’. The actual text is a numeric value that starts at 30. I would like to be able to click a button in the toolbar that changes the text value by decrementing the numeric value by 1.

E.g. The text starts with a numeric value of 30 and when the global key command is activated (at the end of a turn) the text value changes to 29?

It may well be that the solution is the same as in my previous thread and that the answer is to use layers but 30 layers per counter is impractical.

Thanks.
