Bug🐛: Issue with “variable nesting”

[AkashiDom]

I don't know what you call this: “{lv=Array[{lv=Interger}]}”, but I call that “variable nesting”.

I found a bug when nesting variable:​

Configure: ^


Dialog: ^
The title work because I found a fix to it. DON'T MIND THE TITLE

So as you can see, the dialog show is bugged HOWEVER,

The variable is defined​

Everything is defined



So I tried something and I found that

I found a solution​

Check the Display Dialog input, I forgot to screenshot it

Not only that, I also tried this and it worked:​

So the problem is the nesting(maybe)

What you are calling "variable nesting" is and works as Arrays or Dictionaries.

In both cases every item can be of any type. Even another (nested) Array or Dictionary. Mixing these types (multi level Arrays or Dictionaries) are sometimes a bit complex to deal with but works well anyway. Mainly since last improvements in recent MD versions.

Well in the image, I'm (nesting) an Interger inside array of a dictionary.

{lv=TEMP[DIARY RENDER][entries][{lv=TEMP[PAGE]}][entry]}

I'm nesting Interger of PAGE inside DIARY RENDER[entries] and for some reason, it didn't work

What is not working exactly?

Your nesting is a bit complex and looks like this:
Main dictionary called "TEMP" containing (among all)
+- a dictionary called "DIARY TENDER" containing
+-- a dictionary called "entries" containing
+--- a dictionary called "0" containg 3 entries called "data", "entry" and "unix" (string+string+integer variables)

Is it correct?

Sorry, I was playing game

Almost
The second one is actually an array.

However the others are correct

Ok. As there is no screenshot about "entries", the "0" key could be an array as well as a dictionary. But it doesn't change anything: both work the same.

2 questions:
- are you sure you need such a complex nesting?
- what is exactly the problem you are facing now?

The problem is, when I get value of TEMP » DIARY RENDER » entries » (TEMP » PAGE) » entry, it shows the magic text instead of the value.

I guess MD is a bit "lost" lost with such nesting and is not able to refer to itself in addressing an item.

As "TEMP[PAGE]" is a plain integer variable, I would suggest to set an integer variable with "TEMP[PAGE]" value and then integrate this variable name in your expression instead of "TEMP [PAGE]"
