confused about view on plus-*default

If you open this set, its +*default appears to be "low", but when you open that card it becomes "

". What's up with that, and why does it have a view anyway? When you go to edit it, it's just "low", and it seems to be rendered as name view anyway (which makes sense, since that's what's specified on Ticket+*type+*structure).

 

The actual content is stored as low.  the weirdness comes about because of the combination of two current peculiarities:

  1. pointers currently convert links in storage into inclusions so that we can do type handling and views and such
  2. *content and *default don't render inclusions when viewed directly; they just show the inclusion syntax.

 


Ah, and then it changes to

when you open it because that's the view it would be in if it were being rendered normally.
