Item1277: Using "Edit data" link of the PersonalInfoAddOn handles TML values not fully correctly

I am using the following values in some form lines:

%FORMFIELD{"FirstName" topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%.%FORMFIELD{"LastName" topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%@company.com

%INCLUDE{ "%USERSWEB%.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook" section="CallURLWorkPhone" }%

%INCLUDE{ "%USERSWEB%.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook" section="CallURLWorkPhoneMobile" }%

%INCLUDE{ "%USERSWEB%.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook" section="CallURLWorkPhoneExtension" }%

On my system this results in a phone number that can be clicked on to trigger a call via Asterisk.

But when using "Edit data" this content is not kept as is and upon saving will be destroyed, resulting in an emptied field from end user perspective.

In fact before saving the related meta data looks like that:

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkEmail" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkEmail" value="%25FORMFIELD%7b%22FirstName%22 topic=%22%25BASEWEB%25.%25BASETOPIC%25%22%7d%25.%25FORMFIELD%7b%22LastName%22 topic=%22%25BASEWEB%25.%25BASETOPIC%25%22%7d%25@company.com"}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhone" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhone" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhone%22 %7d%25"}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhoneMobile" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhoneMobile" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhoneMobile%22 %7d%25"}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhoneExtension" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhoneExtension" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhoneExtension%22 %7d%25"}%

After saving via "Edit data" it'll look like that (without the <nope>):

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkEmail" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkEmail" value=""}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhone" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhone" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhone%22 %7d%25"}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhoneMobile" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhoneMobile" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhoneMobile%22 %7d%25"}%

<nope>%META:FIELD{name="WorkPhoneExtension" attributes="H" title="<nop>WorkPhoneExtension" value="%25INCLUDE%7b %22%25USERSWEB%25.WikiCodeOneClickPhonebook%22 section=%22CallURLWorkPhoneExtension%22 %7d%25"}%

While writing this I discovered that the INCLUDE statements are left intact. I just changed that. This shows a workaround by using an INCLUDE in favor of FORMFIELD so the FORMFIELD stuff is "outsourced" from direct editing.

Because the "Edit data" is not exactly doing the same as the normal edit modes I also opened the related support question http://foswiki.org/Support/Question96. The default edit modes didn't have that issue.

Fixed in addon version 1.6.
