UIWidget rename in duplicates

[jont]

I am looking to remove the "!" which is added to the UIWidget variable as used in <select> in a product duplicate.

Using:

<actinic:block php="true" >
$sOriginalUI = '<actinic:variable name="UIWidgetName" />';
$sOriginalUI = str_replace('!', '', $sOriginalUI);
$sOriginalUI = 'b'.$sOriginalUI.'jmh';
echo $sOriginalUI;
</actinic:block>

works a treat but get the red error warning inside Actinic. Any ideas what is amiss?

Ah OK - variable set to selectable = false and it has stopped the error.

Will leave on here if anyone else needs to use it.
