 * when the "save button" is clicked, it saves the selection into a hidden variable. in this case the variable is "value". here is an example of the template on a page, click expand to see dropdown, source mode to view hidden variable and enter test mode.
 * the dropdown can be changed by anyone but the way i want it set up is to have any saved changes be logged in the page's history. hopefully i can revert any bad changes.
 * the dropdown will reset any selection on cookie/cache clear or page refresh.

If another user comes along they can change pie to "cookie"?

It seems fairly simple and straight forward. The trick is just to specify exactly what template must be changed probably in the hidden value. It will also be an issue if several templates have the same name, as it might simply override those parameters in all of them.

I'll have to think about how to implement it, and maybe have an idea sometime this week.
