Item5039: Need Better way to set variables (resolved by Extension)
Priority: Enhancement
Current State: No Action Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
I can live with the (clumsy, imho) bullet syntax for bullets. If I accidentally type 4 spaces instead of 3, I see the result immediately and fix it.
But, when I'm setting a variable, I may not notce that I didn't, actually, set the variable! Meanwhile, I'm always having to wrap my variable settings in HTML comments.
I'd love something like
%SET{"VAR=value"}%
While we're at it, I'd like to add the user's Groups topics to the setting of variables -
So I guess we should make a Codev Topic to get the ideas discussed

The
SetVariablePlugin will solve this.
%SETVAR{"SOMEVAR" value="the value"}%
Setting to No Action required - as it's implemented in a plugin
