I have the following dtml code piece (using Zope 1.10.2): <!--#call "updateValue(newval=100)"--> updateValue is a dtml method which looks like: <!--#if "hasProperty('lastValue')"--> <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(lastValue=newval)"--> <!--#else--> <!--#call "manage_addProperty('lastValue',newval,getPropertyType('default'))"--> <!--#/if--> When I view the dtml method, foo, with the call <!--#call "updateValue(newval=100)"--> I get the error below . Interestingly, if I change the method above to: <!--#if "hasProperty('lastValue')"--> <!--#call "manage_changeProperties(lastValue=100)"--> <!--#else--> <!--#call "manage_addProperty('lastValue',100,getPropertyType('default'))"--> <!--#/if--> And call it as <!--#call updateValue--> it works.... Is this the right way to pass in a parameter to a dtml method?
