descriptionBlock in bs4Dash

[scoulter]

Is it possible for descriptionBlock to take a stored value as a number similar to what can be done in a Flexdashboard valueBox. For example,

column(
                width = 4,
                descriptionBlock(
                  text = "Attendance above 90%",
                  number = "`r on_track_breakdown_attendance`", #a way to accept a value that changes daily
                  numberColor = "success",
                  header = "Attendance",
                  rightBorder = TRUE,
                  marginBottom = FALSE

FAQ: Is it OK if I cross-post?

Posting the same question both here and on other sites Posting the same question to multiple forums at the same time is often considered impolite. We don't completely ban such cross-posting, but we ask you to think hard before you do it and to follow some rules. Cross-post sparingly Rather than post the same thing here and elsewhere from the get-go, post in one place at a time. Let enough time go by (think days, not hours) before you take your question somewhere else. Sometimes people at another site may suggest you post here if your question doesn't fit within the scope of the other site. Always link to your other posts, and update everywhere with any solution…

descriptionBlock

Not totally sure I follow, can't you use the number argument in bs4Dash descriptionBlock() function in a very similar way you used it with with valueBox? The value in number in descriptionBlock would refer to text or a number defined in a reactive variable by your Shiny app.

I am trying to determine if I can update a number in the descriptionBlock (since the number updates daily in my data). My question is...Is there a way to update the number on the server side so that it updates the UI? It's not exactly similar to a valueBox in a Flexdashboard, but I can update a valueBox daily in a Flexdashboard with r abc data because its a markdown document. I'm trying to figure out if there is something equivalent in Shiny using a descriptionBlock.
