Hi Darin,
sorry to cause more confusion than necessary - my example below was
testing a separate case. Your case was to insert the variable using
the {?...} notation in sml:url. This has still some limitations, and
it's too late to change now directly before the build. However, there
is a simple work-around: instead of using the {?...} notation, insert
an sml:CloneVariable before the ImportXMLFromURL module. The input
variable would be the url and the output variable must be called "url"
to match the expected parameter sml:url in the module. The system will
then pick up the value correctly.
