I created the following code snippet:

[myTest | myTest]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
$(AttributesEnd)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)

When I use myTest, it automatically generates:

test1
test1
test2
test2

And when I modify test1 or test2, the corresponding instances update
synchronously.
However, if I change the template to:

[myTest | myTest]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
$(AttributesEnd)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)

Using myTest now generates:

test1
test1
test1
test1

Why is this happening?

What version of Lazarus are you using? When I call the template (for
trunk and 3.8), I get:

Template 1:

Code: [Select]test1
test2
test1
test2

Template 2:

Code: [Select]test1
test1
test1
test1

You want the 2nd example to be
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i $Param(test
1,Sync=1)$Param(test1,Sync=1)$Param(test2,Sync=3)$Param(test2,Sync=3)
or
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
$Param(test1)$Param(test1,Sync=1)$Param(test2)$Param(test2,Sync=3)
You got 4 times "$Param". They are numbered from 1 to 4.

So you want the last (4th "Param") to link to the 3rd.

From the help (if you click "insert macro")
Quote  if param("foo") > 0 and param("foo",sync=1) < 99 then
Inserts 2 linked cells, editing either one, will change the other one
too.
The value "1" refers to the position of the other "param()", so if
there are more params:
  if param("bar") and param(foo) > 0 and param(foo,sync=2) < 99 then
The 2nd and third are linked (the 3rd refers to "2").
