Apply ${ask as variable
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 4:06 am
Is it possible to have the users input become a variable?
I am creating a DITA map template, for use in the New File dialog box. I want to use the ${ask Editor Variable to get a value from the user. Then I want that value written into the new DITA map in several places. The only way I can make it work is to use multiple ${ask Editor variables, one at each place that I want the value written into the map. The result is that the user has to enter the same value multiple times. Obviously the user should only have to enter the value once.
