Bob,
I had a quick look, I am busy this morning
The only issue I detected so far is in the debug view onscreen I see the
value had leading spaces, I corrected this with the trim[] at the end of
the filters in the actions widgets for example
{{{ [{!!exhibition_id}addsuffix[ ]addsuffix{$:/TLS/exhibition_id}trim[]] }}}
I can look later in the day, but do share a supposed to work and a debug
view if possible.
