Passthrough field displays as undefined variable was created by hano

Hi

I am trying to use a passthrough variable in my templates for the URL the user should go to when they close the survey.

Setup:
parent_url is a url parameter in Panel Integration, and {PASSTHRU:parent_url} is set in the End URL field.

Result:
If I use {URL} or {PASSTHRU:parent_url} in my template it renders as

Code:

<span class='em-expression em-haveerror'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-error'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-var em-var-error' >PASSTHRU</span></span> : <span title='Undefined variable' class='em-error'><span title='Undefined variable' class='em-var em-var-error' >parent_url</span></span></span>

Is this a bug?

Thanks

You need to create a question to store parent_url. Then use that question code as the End URL.

Hi,

If i remind PASSTHRU: can be used in end url only : manual.limesurvey.org/URL_fields#Passthr...rvey_2.x_or_later.29

I don't use a lot PASSTHRU, because there are better solution : manual.limesurvey.org/URL_fields#Prefill...using_GET_parameters + manual.limesurvey.org/URL_fields#Expressions . But there are surely a bug here : PASSTHRU is maybe, never set in EM.

Here : you don't use PASSTHRU
@hano : can you test if PASSTHRU work even if it show error ?
If yes : please fill a bug report.

Thanks, I did that and now {URL} works as expected.
