Is there a way to set a selector, or the value for a selector variable, during the execution of a step?
While executing a project's step, can I define a new seletor to execute the same step? Or can i use the values of some environment variables for this execution on the selector variables?
Couldn't find reference on any dot comand for this or anything like that.
Build Forge Version: 7.1.3.2
Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, what you asking is a standard feature in Build Forge.
The .bset command is used to change the selector during step execution.
The process is well documented in the Build Forge Information Center.
Be sure to read it carefully.

Thanks Bruce, but I understand that. That's why I said to read "very carefully" to understand that changes made using .bset take effect in the step after the step where .bset is used.
Igor would need to create a .bset step before the step that he wishes to execute with the new selector.
If this is NOT what he can do then, yes, he can't do exactly what he stated in the question.
