Overview:
Template stored in a table with multiple languages and place holders for field values using rich text fields.
Template copied with selected language.
Run script to find and replace place holders with the values for the related case when user clicks a button.

I have everything except pulling in the table field values for the elements without an html element ID of the table field id.

Hi Wendy. I don't know the details of the use-case, but Automations definitely can find and edit records. We also released _SearchAndReplace()_ as a formula function. Wherever possible, we would encourage using supported methodologies vs. image onload.
