Passing things to partials and functions

[Andy M]

I'm having a problem passing things around in mustache java. Historically what we've had is things like:

{{</partials/form/_form}}
{{$formContents}}

    {{</partials/form/_text}}
      {{$field}}hours{{/field}}
      {{$label}}Number of hours{{/label}}
      {{$inputAttributes}}size="2"{{/inputAttributes}}
      {{$inputClasses}}inline {{/inputClasses}}
    {{//partials/form/_text}}

    {{</partials/form/_submit}}
      {{$field}}next{{/field}}
    {{//partials/form/_submit}}

  {{/formContents}}
{{//partials/form/_form}}

Which works fine - however, I now need to be able to track what labels were assigned against a field. I was hoping that $formContents would be evaluated at the 

point the partial is called - but it seems it's evaluated at the point it's referenced in the partial.

I've also tried creating a function something along the lines of:

{{#formContents}}
    {{</partials/form/_text}}
      {{$field}}hours{{/field}}
      {{$label}}Number of hours{{/label}}
      {{$inputAttributes}}size="2"{{/inputAttributes}}
      {{$inputClasses}}inline {{/inputClasses}}
    {{//partials/form/_text}}

    {{</partials/form/_submit}}
      {{$field}}next{{/field}}
    {{//partials/form/_submit}}
  {{/formContents}}

{{>/partials/form/_form}}

which was a last ditch attempt to get this working but it seems that mustache will fail compilation whenever a partial is used inside a function?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Possibly worth mentioning the error in the second case is:
