I have not been using Scribus for sometime (I am using Zettlr /
Markdown right now) but I do recollect using Scripter >
ScribusGenerator to inject variables into various Scribus objects.<br>

It might be one workaround to post process your layouts.<br>

<p>Then view installed script under Script tab in Scribus topbar.<br>
</p>
Alternatively I have developed for my own use Python scripts which
"hack" the XML format *.sla to inject custom variables.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi!
My current task is adjusting an existing layout to different formats.
This could be a simple job of just scaling the whole thing, followed by
a few tweaks to fill the gaps caused by a different aspect ratio. It
isn’t in Scribus, due to 2 bugs:
- Scaling a text frame along with font size and line height via
Alt-Drag only works on a single frame.
- Scaling a group works until one ungroups it to edit parts of it, as
then text frames jump back to their initial line height.
Undo after trying either of these is broken, too.
There are old bug reports about these:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=3423" moz-do-not-send="true">https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=3423</a>

Both with severity “minor”. Well, these make Scribus almost unusable
for my current job.
Does anyone here know a workaround?
