Detail

The documentation in VarMETA states you can use this:

%META{"formfield" name="foo"}%

to get the value of formfield foo.

However, this does not seem to work in 4.1.2 and 4.2.0-beta1. A quick check of the code reveals this in TWiki.pm sub META:

    } elsif ( $option eq 'formfield' ) {         # a formfield from within topic text         return $meta->renderFormFieldForDisplay( $params );     } elsif( $option eq 'attachments' ) { 

While the signature for $meta->renderFormFieldForDisplay is:

ObjectMethod renderFormFieldForDisplay($name, $format, $attrs) -> $text

So, WTF? Am I crazy, or is this a bug (not mutually exclusive though). If it is a bug, i'd be happy to fix it, but please can someone confirm that it is indeed a bug..?

I ran into the same problem after upgrading to 4.2. The attached patch fixes the bug. If anybody from the developers is reading this - please add the patch to the main source.

-- TWiki:Main.StefanWalter - 28 Apr 2008

It's a bug, and Stefan's patch fixes it. Go ahead, Koen.

-- CrawfordCurrie - 29 Apr 2008

No more waiting. I have checked in the fix and tested it.

Thanks to Stefan
