${SHORT_NET_NAME(1)} as value cannot be resolved?

[ekoeck]

Any idea what is happening here? Or why this is happening? My test point component has ${SHORT_NET_NAME(1)} as value and it gets rendered correctly in PCBNew. Only ERC throws this error?!

The brackets are needed as parameter for SHORT_NET_NAME. Alrighty, then up we go to Github
