Even if it worked correctly, nothing would be changed, so what's to gain?With other iterative WebDNA contexts, it's been shown that making changes to data while inside the context that's looping through the *same* data can have unexpected results. [Listvariables] seems to be another one.Putting [name] and [value] twice in the [Listvariables] context isn't messing up the results, putting [text][name]=[value][/text] *any* number of times within the context is the issue.
