Hi,
I created a variable of type String with the default value an empty string {test: String ='';}, I would like to change this value according to a conditional test , I try assignment with operation '=' [test = 'Public' /]
but it does not work, I try [test.concat ('Public') /] but this command display the result in the file generation, I just made the change the value of variable without displaying the result ......

Hi

I suspect that you are trying to make an immutable String mutable, but
it's only a guess. Acceleo extends OCL and is declarative so you cannot
reassign variables, you create new ones.

You might find https://wiki.eclipse.org/OCL/ForumNetiquette provides
some ideas on more effective communication.
