I have what I think shouldn't be too uncoming of a need.

I have an Action List that I run a number of times, but before I run the Action List (Compile Project), I need to assign the values to a group of variables each time.&nbsp; So, before each call to the action list, I assign ~5 variables.

It would be nice to be able to create the variables that need to be assigned values into a Variable Group (I might call this Compile Project List Variables), and create a editor to edit variables of a group.&nbsp; This would reduce errors (making sure each variable is assigned before the list) and clean up the actions.

Does that make sense?
