PHP Filter: 'Add a variable' text token does not work

I'm also interested in this.

For now I'm setting variable by php evaluation on variable creation. Data selector needs to be set for any token and in php evaluation changed:

$value = "some value";
return $value;

Same problem here. Setting a variable through php evaluation on a "Add a variable" action works fine. However using an action of type "Execute custom PHP code" and setting the variable with @altavis 's code above doesn't work.

This affects the latest recommended version as well. Switching to Bug report to get some attention as I can't tell if it is a bug or a lack of documentation on the proper manner to change Provided variable through code.

> using an action of type "Execute custom PHP code" and setting the variable with @altavis 's code above doesn't work.
I think 'Add a variable' is the action we need to use for this, not 'Execute custom PHP code'.

I tried a couple variations of #1 and couldn't make this work either. This appears to be a common difficulty, so raising the priority.

This appears to be a duplicate of #1231418: Provide access to variables to the PHP data processor. ..thinking

Dunno what you are thinking mitchell, but here are my thoughts :-)

I ran into this one a couple of times myself. Don't know if this warrants higher priority though.
But I agree with your assesment that this is a dupe of #1231418: Provide access to variables to the PHP data processor
Posted there asking confirmation.

Thanks, firfin. :-)

Thinking was really learning more about RulesPHPEvaluator vs RulesPHPDataProcessor and scanning through the issue queue to find if anything else was being worked on around this.

I'm 95% sure that there's no more info to add and that I've marked the other open support request / feature request / bug reports as duplicates. So, now we can focus on fago's the plan to add this.
