Resolution
In order to display Strings or Numeric values in either a Rectangle or a Text box in the Visualization,
you need to enter a Placeholder Wildcard in the "Texts-> Text" field:
"%s" for Strings
"%d" for Numeric Values
Then in the "Text variables->Text variable" property, choose a Symbol from your PLC project to display in the object.
See this example of a Text field object element:
