Variable not replaced in server folder IP field
I have a folder of type server with IP field set to "192.168.1." below I've another folder of type server with IP field set to "$COMPUTER_IP$1". I would assume to resolve this to "192.168.1.1" if used in a session below the second level folder, but it seems to return "$COMPUTER_IP$1".
Would it be possible to add variable expansion for this field?

Hi Pascal,
$COMPUTER_IP$ refers to the IP field of the server type folder or other "computer" type folder. So base on your configuration the second server folder resolve is own IP value (from IP field).
I'm not sure what we could perform for this scenario. Let me have a discussion with my colleagues to find a proper solution of your scenario.

Hello Pascal,
As my colleague David mentioned, you will not be able to use $COMPUTER_IP$ at 2 levels, cause indeed it will loop back to the entry itself.
I achieved what I think you want to do with a slight different approach.
At top level, I created a Folder of type Domain. I then set an IP in the Information section -> IP (Value 192.168.1.).
Within this "Domain" Folder, I created the Folder of type Server with the las digits of the IP’ in the IP field.
In the RDP Session under this, I could then set the host : $DOMAIN_INFORMATION_IP$$COMPUTER_IP$ and it seems to work fine.
Would this be a good solution for you?
