Re: Refer to block item using string

you probably need to use the copy function or the set_*_property function

as i recall it's something like this:

    copy( 'a value', 'an item name');

    set_checkbox_property( 'cb item name', 'properry name', 'value')

againg, i'm going by memory -- it's been over a year so i may not quite have the syntax just right
