+I can't seem to make this work. I have tried, in this [sandbox](http://mesh.openisp.ca/sandbox), to set values for fields and then display them with the getfield meta syntax, but it doesn't seem to be working.
+
+The getfield, field and ymlfront plugins are enabled. I have tried with and without the following field registration:
+
+    # field plugin
+    # define the fields for the meshmtl project
+    field_register:
+    - meta
+    - hostname
+    - MAC
+    - IP
+
+I have tried both the ymlfront directive and the YAML markup (with the
+`---` delimiter), no luck. Any idea what I am doing wrong? --
