    Hi is it possible to place a TV into the &parents value of a ditto call?

    e.g.

    [[Ditto? &parents=`[*latestnewsValue*]` &depth=`1` &tpl=`latestnewsDittoTpl` &sortBy=`menutitle` &sortOrder=`ASC`]]


    This does not work when tested it list all docs and not those that are from the contents of the [*latestnewsValue*] TV - which is an integer value - e.g. 10

    However when I hardcode add in the 10 it works e.g.

    [[Ditto? &parents=`10` &depth=`1` &tpl=`latestnewsDittoTpl` &sortBy=`menutitle` &sortOrder=`ASC`]]




    Why is this? I need it to be able to read in the TV value and work? Any ideas?

    Cheers,

      Try it calling Ditto uncached [!Ditto ... !]
