Another Ruby/macro Question

I've seen the videos and am attempting something very very simple but keep getting evaluation errors.

Again a fundamental misunderstanding b/c Chief is soooo inconsistent with Ruby applications. You can not use ruby macros in a text box within rooms b/c Ruby can not recognize a room boundary. you can only use Chief's macros there.

 

But if you put the ruby macro into the room label or the default label, it will work OK, The reason is that a object has to be preselected via the label or reference in order for Ruby to read that objects attributes. But for Rooms only, reference will not work at all, only labels work there. This is by design. This why the console works, if you preselect the room but a text box with ruby will not work for rooms.

Thanks Gerry, this rabbit hole is a little too deep for a Sunday especially with The Masters on. I'll just keep typing in day=ta where I need and use Ruby/Macros where allowed.
