Item12736: EDITTABLE nested macros don't work

Hi,

I've tried to do "tricks" with this fantastic platform (I'm newbie with it, but the based on the slideware it will be my favorite engine) The issue: only the inner macro is expanded. Its result is perfect, as swapping it to its result gives what I need. Original topic:

 
%EDITTABLE{ format="| text, 20 | select, 1 %SEARCH{ "^\|[^\*\|]*\|" topic="ServicesInternal" type="regex" multiple="on" nonoise="on" format=", $pattern(^ *\| *(.*?) *\|.*)" }%|" changerows="on" }%
| *Name* | *Type* |
| Foo  | bar  |

After saving the topic, it gives this result:

 
%EDITTABLE{ format="| text, 20 | select, 1 , one , two , three , four|" changerows="on" }%

Changing the original line to it's unmodified result I get the table with the drop down list. If I change the EditTablePlugin to EditRowPlugin, my nested macro line works. (okay, that plugin causes other issues, so using it is not an option for me now).

The EditTablePlugin is being deprecated in Foswiki 1.2, replaced with EditRowPlugin, so this probably won't get fixed.

If you could, please verify any issues you've encountered with EditRowPlugin on http://trunk.foswiki.org/ and set this task to status "Confirmed". (though currently the ERP has some issues with save, hopefully to be fixed soon).

Hi,

In the meantime I had to move away from this project, really sorry. Based on your answer I was using a not supported solution, so you can close this. Thank you.

Kind Regards, Zsolt
