Retrieve and display Value References

The {get-metadata} macro  macro is used on wiki pages (or content rendered to wiki pages) to retrieve and display Value References, including:

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 Comala set-metadata macro. In that case, the get-metadata macro will resolve the value in the following priority.
