So, what's the problem with that approach? You are binding a variable in the LHS and using it in the RHS, that should work as expected. If you make that variable change, let's say use different strings or enums for the "<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">exposure type" you should be fine.</span><div>

<div>Setting a variable in the LHS doesn't make sense for the common use cases. What we usually do is to bind a variable to a field from our facts, but that's it.</div>
