<#assign vereniatext = record.custpage_vereniafix>// JSON string

<#assign vereniaobj = vereniatext?eval> // .. to JSON Obj

then in the item list...

<#assign itemkey = {item.item}> // key to use as a reference

<td colspan="3" style="width: 93px;">${vereniaobj[itemkey]}</td>

It does not like any way I try and reference the object by key, anyone suggest the syntax I need?
