Question

Is it possible to Set Web level variables from an include file? I tried placing a %INCLUDE... in the WebPreferences page and it displayed correctly on the page. However the variables were no longer visible to other pages. When the Set VARNAME = was coded directly in the page, the variables were included.

Environment

Answer

Preferences do not follow INCLUDEs. However, you can use a SpreadSheetPlugin formula in an INCLUDEd file that sets a variable, e.g. %CALC{$SET(dinner, Sushi)}%, then use the variable in your topic.
