I received a great suggestion that seems to be on the right track, but I am hitting a namespace issue. The suggestion was to convert the string of folder ids to a list using 'string split'. I'm hitting the error "global name 'objectValues' is not defined". Where I am at: Propertysheet has property 'selectfolder' of type 'selection' that obtains it's list from the method 'returnfolders' DTML Method 'returnfolders' contains <dtml-return "_.string.split(getfolders(),' ',0)"> to parse the string of space-separated folder names from 'getfolders' into a list. By itself, this works. DTML Method 'getfolders' contains <dtml-in "objectValues(['folder'])"><dtml-unless hidefolder><dtml-var id> </dtml-if><dtml-in> to generate the filtered list of ids. By itself, this works. When 'returnfolders' executes 'getfolders' it returns an error - 'objectValues is not defined'. I tried the underscore namespace, '_.objectValues...' with no success. Any ideas?

Happy Friday - I'm looking for syntax to properly pass folder names as a list to a propertysheet selection property.

Every syntax I try gets: Error Type: In Error Error Value: Strings are not allowed as input to the in tag.

The propertysheet has property 'selectfolder' of type 'selection' set to look to a method 'getfolders' for the list of options.

The documentation says this property type wants either a list or tokens.

One example: A dtml method named 'getfolders' contains <dtml-in "objectValues(['Folder'])><dtml-var id> </dtml-in> And renders space separated tokens.

My question is how to change this to produce a list in a format that the property will accept. Thank you for any guidance! Duke
