How to use Field Map Variable for iCalendar mapping

[Darren Lau]

On the Field Map (sys_impex_entry) table, how do you use the "Variable name" field with Type = var?  I'm building an Import Export Map for my icalendar email template.  I want to be able to map catalog variables from sc_req_item to display in the icalendar meeting invitation that gets sent out.  But I'm not seeing any sort of documentation or posts on how to make it work.

1.  Go to Import Export Map

2.  Open record where type is icalendar

3.  Under "Field Maps" tab of related links, click New

4.  In the Mapping Entry Wizard, choose Mapping to a variable name

How does this record work?  In the Variable name field i'm entering different options like current.variables.variable_name, variables.variable_name, and just plain variable_name.  But nothing is working.  Can someone explain to me how to use this correctly?
