[Zope] DTML Doc property from DTML Method in tag

[Richard Wackerbarth]

I don't think so.
Which "title" are you referencing?

I have a very similar problem.

In a form, I generate a list of 'ids' (just like the manage screens).
When processing that form, I call "manage_delObjects" just fine.
However, before doing so, I would like to generate a report.
That report needs to list not the 'id', but the 'common_name' of the
item.

-- -- snip -- --

<!--#in ids-->
<P><!-- This gets the ID --> <!--#var sequence-item-->
<!-- But this gives a key error --> <!--#var common_name-->
<!--#/in--> 
<!-- This is fine if I don't make the above error -->
<!--#call "manage_delObjects(REQUEST=REQUEST, ids=ids)"-->

It does not seem to do so for me.
