ok, that problem. There is more complexity in corner cases, though. <varslots> will readily allow you to mix objects which are not inside the same data.frame. You can certainly argue that in general it makes a lot of sense to keep all model data inside one data.frame. I'm not sure, we want to force users to do that in all cases, though(*). I had started to adress this problem in the <formula>-tag. Try the "Simple Anova"-plugin (in under_development.pluginmap), and watch what happens when you select objects from different data.frames. That magic is mostly implemented in C++-inside the <formula>-widget. The formula widget does not support random effects, yet, and still has other problems, too (it does not work well in run again links), but perhaps it is the way to go after all? Speaking of things already coded in C++: I just remembered the "shortname" modifier of RObject-type properties... So you don't need to manipulate strings in JS to get that. Regards Thomas (*): If you do want to force users to use data from a single data.frame, only, you'll have to use a two stage solution: One varselector + varslot to select the data.frame, then connect that to the "root"-property of a second varselector (like in the "Sort Data" plugin).
