Thank you Paul for the help and explanation.
Couple of questions.
If I tried to use the Eval.me (stubborn me), it did not work and failed.
You mentioned that Eval.me is for full binding.
Should I infer that if I want to Eval.me, I have to use binding and set the
variables in there so they come in scope ? (A sample would be helpful)
Is that @Field annotation new and can you share the link to that
documentation ?
Regards and thanks again,
