34.5.3 Deciding how often to prompt for values of user variables

To tell Mif2Go that you want to be prompted for values of user variables, you must specify when to display the prompt:

[Automation]

; AskForUserVars = Never (default), Always, or Once

Settings for AskForUserVars have the following effects:

Never

You are not prompted for values of user variables; Mif2Go uses whatever values are specified in [UserVars].

Always

You are prompted for values each time you run the conversion; any value you supply becomes the new default value in [UserVars].

Once

You are prompted for values the first time you run the conversion; then Mif2Go resets AskForUserVars to Never, so the next time you run the same conversion, the default values of user variables are whatever you specified on the first run (unless, of course, you change the setting for AskForUserVars back to Always or Once).

See §34.5.1 Assigning an initial value to a user variable.
