If you want to pass along a hidden list proerty, you'll have three options: 1. Pass it along as a list of hidden fields with the :list modifier, Zope will reassemble the list: <dtml-in roles> <input type=hidden name="roles:list" value="&dtml-sequence-item;"> </dtml-in> 2. Turn the list into a space-seperated token property. This only works if there are never any spaces in your list items: <dtml-let tokens="_.string.join(roles)"> <input type=hidden name="roles:tokens" value="&dtml-tokens;"> </dtml-let> 3. Turn the list into a newline-seperated lines property. This only works if there are never any newlines in your list items: <dtml-let lines="_.string.join(roles, '\n')"> <input type=hidden name="roles:lines" value="&dtml-lines;"> </dtml-let> Warning: this is from the top of my head, YMMV. -- Best regards, Martijn mailto:mj@digicool.com
