I have a sequence of pages that all have a common base page, "Structured
Documents".  So, for example, I have Structured Documents/Term for the page
that has the definition of a glossary Term.

I created a property.  The definition of that property includes a query that
returns all of those structured documents, listing only their name without
the Structured Documents prefix.  The idea was that the property will be a
dropdown on the appropriate form which shows a cleaned-up version of the
page names.

The intention is that as soon as I added a new Structured Document, the
property would update its 'allowed' list, and the new document would appear
in the dropdown.

In reality, I have to go to the page for that property, make a meaningless
change, then click Save in order for the change to be picked up.  Even
though I can go to the page, click Purge, and see the new item in the list,
that alone is not enough.  I have to edit and save before the new item(s)
appear in the dropdown of a form.

So the defect is that even though you view the property page and see the
list of allowed values, the form is not picking up the new list of allowed
values.

However, the real NEED here is a way of associating a form on a page with a
queried list of values.  Unfortunately, I have tried in vain to do that.  If
I put a template call in the default= part of the field definition, it isn't
treated as a template, and so the user sees it as a template, not as a list
of values.

What is the proper way of accomplishing this goal?
