    I’m looking to create a Template Variable for a page where the editor can select a page from a list of pages in a parent (container). I’m guess that I’d select a dropdown list menu TV with an @SELECT somehow, but not really sure how that works. Can anyone help me out?

      Try setting the TV values...
      Input Type: DropDown List Menu
      Widget: Delimited List
      Input Option Values: 
      @SELECT pagetitle,pagetitle FROM modx_site_content WHERE parent = 29 ORDER BY pagetitle ASC

      Adjust as necessary.
