I think that SEARCH{format="$percentWIKINAME$percent"} might be returning Svendowideit (from Foswiki::Search) rather than %!WIKINAME%

writing unit test - when we formalise the delay expansion operation we will need to make sure we have enough unit tests showing that all macro's that use them don't call Evaluate once too often.

or maybe not. it might be that IF isn't as 'good' as i was expecting.

%IF{'$REGISTRATIONGROUPTYPE !="none"' then='$percentINCLUDE{"%WEB%.%TOPIC%" section="extraField_groups" warn="off"}$percent' else='<!-- -->'}%

re written as a simpler eg

%IF{'1' then='$percentINCLUDE{"%WEB%.%TOPIC%" section="extra" warn="on"}$percent' else='false'}%
%STARTSECTION{extra}%<a href="%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%">hello there !%TOPIC%, !%BASETOPIC%</a>%ENDSECTION{extra}%

returns: hello there %TOPIC%, %BASETOPIC%

but then when we add more (I'm building the eg until i either debug what i did wrong, or find the bug)

%IF{'1' then='$percentINCLUDE{"%WEB%.%TOPIC%" section="groups" warn="on"}$percent' else='false'}%
%STARTSECTION{groups}%%FOREACH{
    "AaaGroup, AdminGroup"
    header="$percentINCLUDE{$quot%WEB%.%TOPIC%$quot section=$quotextra$quot warn=$quoton$quot}$percent"
    format="$topic"
    separator=", "
}%%ENDSECTION{groups}%

returns:

%FOREACH{ "AaaGroup, AdminGroup" header="$percentINCLUDE{$quotTasks.Item8849$quot section=$quotextra$quot warn=$quoton$quot}$percent" format="$topic" separator=", " }%

adding a STARTINCLUDE which then includes another section which then does the above, which is then used by Sandbox.Item8849? .

inculde the form section

the form section

%FOREACH{ "AaaGroup, AdminGroup" header="$percentINCLUDE{$quotTasks.Item8849$quot section=$quotextra$quot warn=$quoton$quot}$percent" format="$topic" separator=", " }%

the form section

%FOREACH{ "AaaGroup, AdminGroup" header="$percentINCLUDE{$quotTasks.Item8849$quot section=$quotextra$quot warn=$quoton$quot}$percent" format="$topic" separator=", " }%

mmm, still not it - I'm afraid its going to require many many levels of INCLUDE - the error on my system is:

turns out the issue is not in the format, but in header and footer.
