 * Hi,
    Could someone please explain what variable set to ‘static behaviour’ means,
   as against ‘passback’ and ‘entry list’, both of which are more self explanatory.
   Thanks

 * I too am struggling with this and could use an explanation of the different settings.
 * Since this particular plugin has “No public support” and is “community supported”,
   I would like to correspond with you [@dougmiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dougmiller/)
   if you would.

 * Sorry I should have made it clearer.
    Static variables are internal. They can
   be used in magic tags (the little </> icon in some fields) or the mailer body
   etc..
 * Passback variables are added to the url on completion so they can be used outside
   of a submission.
 * And in entry adds them to the entry list view as a field.

    Thanks David
