Iapp : Redefined symbol

Hi,

I'm trying to do this in the presentation section : 

optional ( type_of_deployment.type != "nPath" ) { noyes fastl4noyes }

optional ( type_of_deployment.type == "nPath" ) { yesno fastl4noyes}

But it doesn't like it because there is a duplicate variable... I think it's only the validator that fails, because the logic seem fine... i only want to change the default setting ... Any idea how I can achieve the same result in a valid way ?

thanks

    Unfortunately, the default values in APL are not dynamic. It would be nice if they were. As it is, you must declare 2 different variables (e.g. fastl4noyes1 and fastl4noyes2) and track them both through your implementation. I've done this in perhaps 20 iApps. It's painful, but it works.
