perforce action global options tab uses PWD for Root: even when it's not exported?

[epu]

Here's a project. You'll have to modify the macros to work with your sample depot. If you need me to reproduce any global macros, I can cut/paste them into a file for you.

In this example, the Root: gets set to PWD even though it's not exported. Perforce does normally accept PWD as a valid variable to set the Root: to.

If the project step 'Set PWD' is run, the Root will also be set to the new temp macro PWD, even though it's not exported.

I'll post my log file for this in another post just below.

Sorry, this first attachment I forgot to delete the PWD macro out of the perforce action, and the second one I forgot to put a fake hard-coded value in the perforce action. Here's the right example.

The behavior I expect is for the Root: field to be set to 'c:\this\should\show\up\but\PWD\does\instead' but it is always set to PWD instead. I'm not sure what behavior should be expected if PWD is set and exported and there is a value in the p4 action, but as long as it is documented it should be ok.
