Re: [Semediawiki-user] using variables in editing a form

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Hi,

This is actually a Semantic Forms question, but no, you can't use variables.
Although this doesn't seem like a good use case anyway - if the new page is
created, and then the value of 'period' changes on the FOO page, you'd have
data inconsistency.
