\setMPtext value

\setMPtext value

[Nigel King]

MetaFun experts,
In my document I want to automatically set a reference on the front cover
The following line puts the value of nkdocument@Reference into the document

\getvalue{nkdocument@Reference}

But 
\setMPtext{FrontCover}{\getvalue{nkdocument@Reference}}
Does not put the value into

\MPbetex{FrontCover}
What do you think I am doing wrong

TIA

this is because context keeps your text confidential -)

   \expanded{\setMPtext{...}{\getvalue{...}}}

will give you a for-your-eyes only copy
