[Zope-CMF] Updating workflow variables from within scripts

"to get it working" = ?
If you mean update a variable "from" a script, no, it doesn't work like
that. The variables can be changed only by specific expressions in
transitions or in their definition itself.

You'll have to make the parent follow a transition, during which the
variable is recomputed.


It looks like what you really want is just object's properties, not
workflow variables.
