Looking into this now. A work around would be to use the array 'tag'instead of the arrayget context. For example....[arrayset name=test_array&dim=1](1)=[none][/arrayset][if "[test_array(1)]" = "[none]"] [then] The boolean engine works with respect to dereferenced array values. [/then] [else] The boolean engine is broken with respect to dereferenced arrayvalues.
