[Used from v 3.0.0]
^getFor( path | item, attribute[,format])^
Gets any attribute you specify for any note you specify via the path. Note that:
^getFor (CurrentFileName, attribute)^
will get any attribute of the file like a root note. You can use just the note name, a partial path or a full path with outline layers being delimited with forward slashes: 'top/middle/bottom/note'
Multiple levels of inclusion are permitted, but cycles are detected and broken.
Color values - regardless of how defined inside the TBX (name, RGB or hex) are exported as hex; e.g #FF0000.If the attribute is of 'date' type then optionally a format string may be cited.
Since paths let you do everything the old syntax allowed (and more), the old syntax is considered confusing and has been dropped.
