Need to assertValue of text input field based on data coming from a table td inner HTML (using storeText to store variable) in Selenium IDE script

Question

In Selenium IDE, I need to call the command assertValue of an input field on data coming from a table <td> (which only allows storeText, not storeValue) from a different page.

Right now the data is being stored correctly, but I think the assertValue command requires a value variable, not a text variable. I found out from past situations that these are different things to the IDE.

I tried the following, but it didn't work:

Store text variable from table <td> tag:

Command: storeText
Target: //table[@id='AddressList_List_ListGrid']/tbody/tr[2]/td[5]
Value: var_source_client_billing_address_city

Store text variable into value variable:

Command: storeValue
Target: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city)
Value: var_source_client_billing_address_city_value

Crashes on command above, so I can't even use the value variable to assert the value

Assert value variable in text input field:

Command: assertValue
Target: id=AddressEditor_TxtCity
Value: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city_value}

This also did not work:

Store text variable from table <td> tag:

Command: storeText
Target: //table[@id='AddressList_List_ListGrid']/tbody/tr[2]/td[5]
Value: var_source_client_billing_address_city

Assert value variable in text input field:

Command: assertValue
Target: id=AddressEditor_TxtCity
Value: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city}

I got the first set to work, but for comparing the text variable (created with storeText) and the value variable (created with storeValue), I just used assertExpression.

Store text variable from table td tag inner HTML

Command: storeText
Target: //table[@id='AddressList_List_ListGrid']/tbody/tr[2]/td[5]
Value: var_source_client_billing_address_city

Store text variable into value variable

Command: storeValue
Target: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city)
Value: var_source_client_billing_address_city_value

Assert value variable in text input field to text value from td inner HTML

Command: assertExpression
Target: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city}
Value: ${var_source_client_billing_address_city_value}
