In some cases, it is not possible to use the above kind of codes with
some MV tags. The only fastest way to get any value or informations
from some MV tags is for example this:


[set name="Related" interpolate=1]item-field related][/set]
[set name="Size" interpolate=1]item-field size][/set]
[set name="Options" interpolate=1]item-field options][/set]

you can put this with 
[srcatch Related]
[srcatch Size]
[srcatch Options]

Make sure, you use this inside of [item-list]...[/item-list] for
exmaple.

Hope this helps,
