Random_string: {(randk 7)}
I then would like that specific PTV to retain its value.
Instead,
{$:Random_string}
gets every time a new random value.
I am perhaps just misunderstanding the way PTVs are working;
nonetheless I am trying to find a way to "freeze" PTV random values
once they are set, in order to use them in pages and formulas.
Thanks for any hint :-)
