Visio: Are property placeholders allowed in a SetVar

I'm trying to use property placeholders in a SetVar, but it doesn't seem to be allowed.
In the DataMiner documentation, I find that placeholders are allowed as long as you replace the separator.

I'm trying to do a SetVar on an object that opens a popup to display an input name. However, there are multiple input names I want to display on the popup. I would like to have only one popup page, so I'd like to work with variables to store the input name visible on the popup.

[Sep::;]MatrixInputName;[Property:ASI Matrix Switch Name]

Gave this a try, and looks like it's possible to combine the 'VdxPage' shape data - which will launch the popup - with the SetVar shape data - which will set the session variable.

Within the SetVar shape data value, you can use a property placeholder, for which the syntax you posted is correct.

On the popup page itself, you can then use following shape data to display the session variable directly:

Field: Variable

Value: MatrixInputName (or the name of any other variable you defined)

You could also use it as a placeholder through [var:MatrixInputName]

ok, found the problem. The property was empty, and then it doesn’t display the shape.
