Okay, here's a puzzler for people who understand conditional tables better than I do. I have a template called tardis:template:job table. It's kind of a "gestalt" template, in that it passes certain bits of its output through other templates through SMW, and then re-assembles the output of those templates into a completed table. What I need is to somehow get a variable called to be passed from tardis:template:job table to tardis:template:job table head.

In other words, a person types  . Somehow, I then need to get "This is a custom table header" to the part of of my choosing, because  creates the table headers for the table that ultimately gets re-assembled by.

Is this sort of thing even possible? Can you use one template to pass a variable to another template? 15:05: Tue 15 May 2012


 * Template:B
 * B says: 


 * Template:A


 * Page AB


 * Result:


 * B says: sure, why not




 * If you go by SMW:Help:Template format, it is not possible.--PedroM 16:13, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
