Bug: The behavior of variables included in forms appears erratic

I am observing the following when variables are used in forms:

  • Certain variables, e.g., %WIKIHOMEURL%, %WIKITOOLNAME%, %WIKIUSERNAME%, %MAINWEB%, %TOPIC%, render correctly
  • %TOC% does not work correctly but yields an error message
  • Certain variables, e.g., %TOPICLIST%, %WEBLIST% display correctly in preview mode, but cause the content of that cell not to be rendered at all in view mode (albeit the contents is still present as metadata; note that if one goes in edit mode again, the content of the cell is blank. If one saves the topic again, the metadata is gone also.

Test case

See VariablesInFormTest.
