Since v4 guidance is to shift to export attribute values using ^value($Attribute)^ rather than ^get(Attribute)^ and ^value($Attribute(Some note))^ rather than ^getFor(Some note, Attribute)^. Since v5.7.0, ^get^ and ^getFor^ are now deprecated.
Do be aware that to get the expected value in the exported data some attribute data types, especially Date and Color require the attribute value to be enclosed in a format() call:
^value($Color2)^: dark warm gray dark
^value(format($Color2))^: #403a35
^value($Created,"*")^: 07/01/2010 10:46
^value(format($Created,"*"))^: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 10:46:00 +0100
An added advantage of the ^value^ method is that the exported value is an evaluated expression so it is possible to manipulate attribute data. If $MyNumber is 5:
^value($MyNumber)^: 5
^value($MyNumber*3)^: 15
Note that the evaluated result is only seen in the exported code; the source attribute(s) aren't affected.
Compared to old methods like ^text^ and ^title^, ^value^ does not evaluate any inline ^ export code in $Text or $Name - for instance macros, linkTo and include codes. In such context, trying ^value(eval($Text))^ doesn't help as eval() evaluates action code rather than export code.
