    I am trying to use the same Ditto call in a template and set the &tpl param dynamically by choosing a from a dropdown TV. I tried jst placing the TV in the call, but it didn’t work and I got the standard "&tpl doesn’t exist" error.
    [[Ditto? &tpl=`[*whichTpl*]`... ]]
[\code]

Tnx,
Chuck

      How do you have the TV setup? Either test the TV output directly in the document content or add &debug=`1` to your ditto call to open the debug console. I am guessing the the TV is not getting the value you are expecting.
