I am trying to pass some variable via the comment section of either the distro and/or profile and need some help

 

cobbler distro dumpvars --name=SLES10SP2-x86_64 | grep comment

 'comment': 'sles10sp2-x86_64',

Cobbler profile dumpvars –name=sles10sp2-generic | grep comment

 'comment': 'sles10sp2-x86_64',

 

I created a snippet for the following

 

#if $getVar('comment','') == "sles10sp2-x86_64"

        #set $vers="sles10sp2-x86_64-updates"

#end if

 

$vers

 

When this gets rendered it does not return sles10sp2-x86_64-updates but just returns $vers so it appears that $getVar(‘comment’,’’) is not working as I thought ?
