###ReleaseNotes

Author.@JMichaelTX

PURPOSE: Show How a Sub-Macro Can Set a Variable whose name is passed as a Parameter.

HOW TO USE:

  1. In Your Main Macro, enter the name (not the Token) of the Variable in the Parameter Block of an Execute Macro Action
  2. In the Sub-Macro, enter "%TriggerValue%" as the Variable name in a Set Variable Action

WHAT IT DOES:

  1. When the Sub-Macro is executed, it translates the %TriggerValue% into its value, which is the name of the Variable.
  2. The Set Variable Action then executes normally, as if you had directly entered the Variable name into it.

TAGS: @SubMacro, @TriggerValue, @HowTo, @Example, @Variables

REQUIRES:
(1) Keyboard Maestro Ver 7.2+
(2) Yosemite (10.10.5)+
