This is what happened, and I think any user might do so and not think twice about a special word being used: On a page click 'data' link (action=data). On the Data form enter 'source' as new data field name, then click button 'New Fields'. The new 'source' field is shown in the list of existing fields. (note: the page file is not updated at this point with the new data field name). Now I enter a word into this 'source' field which happens to be a page name, and click 'Data'. The page saves with a new data 'source' field, but the content of this field is the source of the page which name I entered. Maybe you call this a totally expected behaviour. But it was not for me. I expect what i entered into a field to be saved, not automatically substituted. I think for anyone not familiar with these 'special commands' it is a very unexpected non-intuitive behaviour, and the result is so strange that you are puzzled as to what happened. Maybe it cannot be helped the way BW is set up internally. Instead of a action=source returning the page source any field named 'source' will return a page source. I can see the logic, in that you can construct forms which will let you easily execute a number of commands. But it needs a big warning sign at least to teach the uninitiated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
