Question

I am trying to setup a FAQ web where the question is entered in a form rather then in the body text. When the page is viewed, I want the question (=form field) to be shown inside the text. I've rtfm but left with no answer. I have experimented with META as well as with SEARCH. I would expect that this one is very easy...

Answer

There is no direct way to extract Meta data, not until we have SimplifyInternalMetaDataHandling.

Use a trick: Search for just the current topic and extract the form field(s) you want. Example:

The support status is: AnsweredQuestions

Above search is:
%SEARCH{ "^%TOPIC%$" scope="topic" regex="on" format="$formfield(SupportStatus)" nosearch="on" nototal="on" }%
