fitnesse: howto load a symbol with a result in query table

In a FitNesse query table, is it possible to load a symbol with the returned results?

example of what I would like to do:

|Query: GetPlayers|
| name  | age | ID    |
| jones | 36  | $ID1= |
| smith | 27  | $ID2= |

Or alternatively, just have one $ID symbol which is loaded with a collection.

Is this possible?

Maybe I don't understand your problem, but this is working fine for me:

|Query: whatever|whatever_param |
|key            |value          |
|a_key          |$symbol=       |
|check          |$symbol|a_value|

I use Cslim, and the method whatever.query() returns a list of maps that correspond to the keys (the key a_key have the value a_value for this exemple)

Unfortunately I believe this is still an unresolved issue in FitNesse. There is a PivotalTracker entry for it, that no one has take one yet: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/1893214. I've looked at it, but haven't been able to solve it myself.

We currently work around this by having a driver that can do equivalent query. Then we get the value back from the query. It is much more cumbersome, but works for now.

I completely agree that this should be possible. But as far as I know, it has not been fixed yet.
