Velocity Script not resolving in URL

## set Source and Medium
#set( $source = "email" )
#set( $medium = "email" )
## set Campaign Name
#set( $campaign_name = "campaign_name" )
## set Content
#set( $content = "content" )
## set Term 
#if( ${lead.Segmentation_A} == "A" )
#set( $term = "AX" )
#elseif( ${lead.Segmentation_B} == "B" )
#set( $term = "BX" )
#elseif( ${lead.Segmentation_C} == "C" )
#set( $term = "CX" )

#set( $term = "DX" )

## link output
?utm_source=$source&utm_medium=$medium&utm_campaign=$campaign_name&utm_term=$term&utm_content=$content

Hi everyone,

I'm having issues getting the above script token to resolve in the link. The link does not populate with the output but rather with the entire velocity script. I've seen similar issues posted regarding $foreach loops but I'm not using a $foreach loop in my case so I'm a bit puzzled as to why this isn't working. Any help is appreciated!

You need to output the entire <a> tag from Velocity, including the closing </a>. Not only the query string.

Also please remove those ${formal} references from the #if statements. You should only use $simple references there. I've noted this in a lot of places.
