Detail

Requirement: for each X:
search for topics where a specified form field has value X
for each hit, print the mod date (without the time component).

We tried

%FOREACH{"release" in="8, 19"}%

---++ $release

$percntSEARCH{
 topic="*Projects20.*" type="regex" nonoise="off"
 search="META:FIELD.*?Release.*?value=\"$release\""
 format="[$formfield(ProjectName) $percntCALC{$FORMATTIME($TIME($date),$day $mon $year)}$percnt "}$percnt

%NEXT{"release"}%

which doesn't work (as expected) because the CALC is evaluated too soon (before $date has a value).

But when we changed to

$dollarpercntCALC{ $FORMATTIME($TIME($date),$day $mon $year) }$dollarpercnt

which should work (as documented), we see

$percntCALC{ $FORMATTIME($TIME($date),$day $mon $year) }$percnt

printed on the screen!

It turns out that

 $percnt$nopCALC{$FORMATTIME($TIME($date),$day $mon $year)}$nop$percnt

works.

So we have a solution. But the failure of $dollarpercnt to work as documented feels like a bug.

The bug is in an unfortunate spec of TWiki:Plugins/ForEachPlugin: It expands $pernct anywhere within FOREACH and NEXT. You can lobby the maintainer of the ForEachPlugin to change the spec.
