Control a Property Value

I have a string prim which is set as a property, but it also takes an input to set the value of the string. What I'm trying to do is add a bool switch to control whether or not the string is set by the input.

I've tried a trigger switch and a selector, but neither works because, as I've found, whenever you open the properties panel the string "pulls" the value from the input.

Does anyone have any ideas how I might be able to switch off the input into a property value without the property "pulling" the value when the panel is opened?

Thanks in advance

You might need a trigger blocker or trigger switch. Trog's Trigger Tutorial is a great resource, search for it on the SM Forum if you havent't already done so.

Strange, it does not behave that way here. :?

You're right... I just tested it and it only does it in my current project. :?
