The changed behaviour has left me struggling a bit to define default values in an include file which can then be overwritten if values are passed in as include variables. From a 2012 post by Brian Fries (thanks Brian) it turns out - and I did not know this - that the following tags can be used in an include file: [formvariables form=3Dinclude][name]=3D[value][/formvariables] [params_string] So if we configure the files like this: =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94-test1.dna=E2=80=94= =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94- [include file=3Dtest2.inc&var1=3Dinclude1&var2=3Dinclude2&var4=3Dinclude4]

Hi all,
It would definitely be good to = get a clear handle on the relationship and hierarchy between all of the dif= ferent types of variables. =C2=A0
The changed beha= viour has left me struggling a bit to define default values in an include f= ile which can then be overwritten if values are passed in as include variab= les.
From a 2012 post by Brian Fries (thanks Brian= ) it turns out - and I did not know this - that the following tags can be u= sed in an include file:
[formvariables form=3Dinclude][name]= =3D[value][/formvariables]
[params_string]
So if we configure the files like this:
