public class TemplateDeclaration
extends VariableDeclaration

Template declarations declare item variables that are to be used specifically for the purposes of cloning items.

They can have their value set only during templateProcessing. They are referred to within the itemBody in order to individualize the clone and possibly also within the responseProcessing rules if the cloning process affects the way the item is scored.

Template variables are instantiated as part of an item session. Their values are initialized during templateProcessing and thereafter behave as constants within the session.
