 Again: why do you want to create two variables when one is sufficient?

 {{{
 name            shortname
 app.name        Long Name with Capitalization and Spaces
 }}}

 The default for `app.executable` is `$name` so most times you don't need
 to override it either. Please read the extensive comments I left in the
 app portgroup explaining how it is intended to be used.
