It goes into any type of PTV. It's extensible so that sites with other PTV formats can make use of it. > 2) Are you thinking of a way to erase a data var, or only allow its > value to be cleared, but leave the (:field: :) on the target page. Currently the way to clear a value is to use spaces. I think this is safest in the long run (and again it's customizable). So far I'm not planning to use this interface to completely remove page text variables from pages. > 3) What happens if a matching PTV can't be found on the target page, > does it insert it?

It retrieves them if told to do so via (:input defaults source=<target>:) . This allows defaults to come from many places, and it also keeps form designers from being surprised if the values arrive from somewhere unexpected. > Also, any recommendations yet about how other recipes should look > towards tapping into this? Not at the moment -- depends on what the other recipes want to achieve. This particular piece is just dealing with forms, page text variables, and templates -- the next pieces deal with creating new pages.
