passing variable into [type="select"] in template

    Is is possible to pass a variable into a the options part of a select field type?


    example as follows, in perch all I see in the cms as a selectable option is <perch:content id="


    php


    <?php 

    PerchSystem::set_vars(['pagesArr'=>'Page 1|url1.html, Page 2|url2.html']);

    perch_content_custom('Slide Content'); 

    ?>


    perch template

    <perch:content id="heading" type="text" label="Heading">

    <perch:content id="pages" type="select" label="Pages" options="<perch:content id="pagesArr">">

    Sorry I am not sure I follow...


    doing like this still does not seem to work here is my code now:


    PHP
    1. <?php
    3. PerchSystem::set_vars(['pagesArr'=>'Page 1|url1.html, Page 2|url2.html',]);
    5. perch_content_custom('Slide Content', []);
    7. ?>
    Code
    1. <perch:content type="select" options="<perch:content id="pagesArr">" id="links">


    Passing the string into the template works fine as I can see it print out on the template however is does not recognise passing the template tag within the template tag

    Is there another method to achieve this then if the above is not possible? What I am trying to achieve is a select box in the cms with a list of urls for all siblings pages?
