Metadata retrieval logic

The following may cause problems when trying to retrieve a metadata value using the get-metadata macro.

For example

  • in Comala Document Management versions prior to v6.18.8 using a get-metadata macro to define a page property value where the metadata being retrieved is the value of another get-metadata macro

The retrieval logic of the get-metadata macro may also have problems returning a value if there is any coincidence (or overlap) in a metadata name and another metadata or property name. To avoid any problem simply try to ensure the use of unique names for each of your metadata names.

Suppose duplication of a value reference name occurs, for example, a page property and metadata set with the
