Hi Francisco,

Iâm not sure I understand the intent above.  request_memory is translated to RequestMemory.  Hence, the expression becomes:

RequestMemory = ifThenElse( isUndefined(RequestMemory), 2000, 4000 )

I.e., thereâs a self-reference here (fwiw - Iâve seen a few tickets over the last year resolving nasties with self-references.  You may have hit one!).  How do you intend this to evaluate?
