Closes #796
Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?
This adds
instanceIDto the list of allowed element names that can be referenced with${}. This is a key part of entity use cases mentioned in #796.Considered not covering the related but undocumented / untested settings
instance_idandomit_instanceID, but they impact this feature and may be in use, and could be removed separately.What are the regression risks?
Fixes a regression. If a question named
instanceIDexists, that is still allowed, but if a reference to${instanceID}is added, that will raise an error due to a duplicate name - which is the current release behaviour.Does this change require updates to documentation? If so, please file an issue here and include the link below.
Yes, filed here.
