Since META:PREFERENCE is for holding variables, it would be great if you could feed them from a form submit. You can do this in the normal topic text to a

Agreed, it should be consistent. However this is an Enhancement, so regrading and setting to Actioning as the analysis is clear from the report.

This is implemented in the
SetVariablePlugin. Setting to No Action
