SetVar not working in sell rules?

P123 Team
I can’t get SetVar working in sell rules. Is that correct?

Thanks.

Georg - Sorry for jumping in. I know you are addressing P123 and they may have something to add. I had it working several years ago but it is possible that something has changed. A couple of tips:
(1) You have to specifically define the SetVar as a sell rule. Don’t depend on definitions from Buy rules
(2) The SetVar() will trigger a sell. To get around this, you have to AND the function call with FALSE as shown below:

SetVar(@Var, …) & FALSE

Steve, thank you for this info.
It works with SetVar(@Var, …) & FALSE

Perhaps P123 can document this in the description of SetVar, otherwise how would the unsuspecting user know this.

P123 You should document this in the Factor Reference "Set Variable" description. This is from 4 years ago, but the description has no mention how to use this in sell rules.

I've added a note in the Use Cases section covering this behavior.

Thank you. It took me about 1/2 hour to find this posting again.
Maybe P123 should consider a Wikipedia type of Reference which can be edited by users as well.
