Re: [Semediawiki-user] "Verbose" property result for simple query (?)

[Robert M. <mra...@gm...>]

As for as I can tell, you're not missing anything.  The only way I've
found to get ONLY the value you're asking for (and not the name of the
page itself) is to you "format = template" and have a template with
nothing more than {{{2}}} in it.  That way, it ignores the pagename
(passed as {{{1}}}) and returns only the value (of Company_name in
your case).
