[FreeMarker-user] How to refer to sibling variable value ?

[Albert K. <moo...@gm...>]

I couldnt access sibling value from within nested hash item definition.

Non-working example:

<#assign parent={
    'sibling1': 'sibling 1',
    'sibling2': sibling1 + ' sibling'
}>

or

<#assign parent={
    'sibling1': 'sibling 1',
    'sibling2': parent.sibling1 + ' sibling'
}>

I had to reserve to a variable outside the hash definition to work:
<#assign val='sibling 1'
    parent={
        'sibling1': val,
        'sibling2': val + ' sibling'
    }
>

Is there a way to refer to sibling value from a hash item definition ?
