--- Comment #3 from mroe <[email protected]> --- Please describe the /goal/ of what you want to reach! You need the value at another point in the text? 1. insert an »Input list« 2. highlight the inserted field 3. at tab Cross-reference: »Set Reference« 4. »Insert reference« at the point where you want. A »Variable« can be simply text but can also be a mathematical term. can be a part of a mathematical term in another »Variable« or a condition for other text fields. So there is no trivial list for a »Variable«. (a simply!) Example: (between the steps set the cursor inside the document lower) (1) »Set variable« – Name: one, Value: 1 [Insert] (2) »Set variable« – Name: two, Value: 2 [Insert] (3) »Set variable« – Name: three, Value: one+two [Insert] (4) »Set variable« – Name: two, Value: 5 [Insert] (5) »Set variable« – Name: three, Value: one+two [Insert] Between the variables (3) and (4) and after (5) you can set »Show variable« for the variable “three”. Instead of (4) »Set variable« you can use (4) »Input field« for the variable “two” to give the user the choice of the value. Or (6) »Set variable« – Name: nextvalue, Value: 1 [Insert] (7) »Set variable« – Name: nextvalue, Value: nextvalue+1 [Insert] repeat (7) as many as you want. There is a powerful mechanism inside and with variables, so I cannot see what could be the benefit of a (static) list. Please let us know a practical example for your wish. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
