Hello I am new to Narrat and am experementing with the choice mechanic.  
I wanted to put a number (variable) inside a text so I looking in the Demo and I found:  
“Buy bread (costs %{$$data.breadPrice})”  
however no matter how much I tried, the value will always come up as undefined.  
Is there a way to put a variable inside a text?

I’m assuming you are setting your data.breadPrice before hand as follows:

```auto
set data.breadPrice 5

```

Also looks like you have two $. Have you tried with a single one as follows?

```auto
"Buy bread (costs %{$data.breadPrice})"

```
