Millisecond Forums

Hello,
I have what feels like a very simple question, but that I haven't been able to find the answer to in either the manual or the forum! I would like to insert / pipe the text of a text stimulus into other parts of the script. Essentially, in our task, we will have participants read about a person and some of their behaviors. Each participant will only read about one person whose name is selected from an item list. I would like to pipe the name that is selected for the participant into the instruction pages. Right now, I currently have it in the page element as "<%text.novelperson.currentitem%>", but this does not return the item that is actually selected for the participant's later trials. I have included some of the code below.
