fitnesse test suite with variables

Question

I was wondering is it possible to set up a variable within the test suite so thatit can be passed down to the setup fit page as a parameter value ?

Answer 1

Have a look at the FlowFixture, this contains the keyword name.

Answer 2

Sure. Use a !define xxx {yyy} on the suite page and a ${xxx} on the SetUp page. Make sure the SetUp page and all the test pages are children of the Suite page.
