Strange perhaps, but working as designed...

I don't consider it strange because I'm in the minority that thinks using PDM for shorthand commands that have nothing to do with the list item against which the command is entered is an inappropriate use of the facility.

However, if I'd designed it I'd probably have not bothered validating the object, library, or type unless the relevant substitution variable was found in the command string (if I found any one of them I'd validate them all) but I can see how someone with a similar thought process to mine would decide to verify the list item.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
