Question

I've created a template topic and have a form which creates topics based on the template (as in the 'Template Topics in Action' section in TWikiTemplates).

Is it possible to add dropdown (or other) fields to the form and then pass the value of those fields to the newly created topic?

Answer

Yes, it's possible at TWiki^TM

Passed value you can access using one of many TWikiVariables: URLPARAM.

%URLPARAM{"name"}%: Returns the value of a URL parameter. Ex: %URLPARAM{"skin"}% returns print for a .../view/TWiki/TWikiVariables?skin=print URL.
