SmartTemplate

I am attempting to loop through an array that is already part of a loop.. eg loop within a loop. When I do a print out to see what is actually being sent to the templates from the data collection, everything appears accordingly, however I cannot execute the inside BEGIN END statement. The data just isn't there.

[code]
<!-- IF REQUEST_UPDATES -->
<table summary="Documentation request updates">
<tr>
<th>User</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Changes</th>
</tr>
<!-- BEGIN REQUEST_UPDATES -->
<tr>
<td>{U_FNAME} {U_LNAME}</td>
<td>{F_UPDATE_DT}</td>
<td>
<ul class="update_changes">
[b]<!-- BEGIN F_UPDATE_CHANGE -->
<li>... {F_UPDATE_CHANGE}</li>
<!-- END F_UPDATE_CHANGE -->[/b]
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END REQUEST_UPDATES -->
</table>
<!-- ENDIF -->
[/code]

the three dots in the inner loop is simply just checking whether the variable is there, that would be removed once working correctly. I have troubleshooted using these syntax changes on the inner loop

[list]top.F_UPDATE_CHANGE[/list]
[list]top.REQUEST_UPDATES.F_UPDATE_CHANGE[/list]
[list]parent.F_UPDATE_CHANGE[/list]
[list]REQUEST_UPDATES.F_UPDATE_CHANGE[/list]

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
