Passing variables to a nested asset

Squiz Matrix Support

I need to pass an variable, in this case metadata to a nested asset.


So when the asset is nested you add a variable whatever = %asset_metadata_something%

then in the nested asset you call the variable via %globals_get_whatever%



unfortunately it does not work for us and I can not understand why.

url/?whatever=%asset_metadata_something% gets the results we need but I need to pass the variable in a less obtrusive way (I want to nest it in a calendar)

What version are you on Nic? I was stuck on this very thing for a while and found that it just doesn't work but was fixed up in later versions, came in 3.22.2.
