Hi again 🙂  
To our daily frustration, the build in Web Service actions: Web Service and Web Service Iterator does not expand Finalbuilder variables under: Service-\>Parameters-\>Value.&nbsp;  
Please help.

Hello Jesper,   
  
 I have run a test against a whether web server passing the zip code value in a variable. This seems to be working in version 7.0.0.3102.   
  
 Just wondering which version your using and which variables are not being expanded?

Hi Jason,   
 I’m running version 7.0.0.3090. The variables expand just fine runtime, but design time, I am missing the aid to complete the variables.

There is no variablesense in grid controls, this is a limitation of the controls we use. We do hope to enable it in the future, but it’s not a simple task.

Hi Vincent,   
 I’ll cross my fingers for a new and variablesensable grid control. Would make my everyday a better place 🙂

It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but every time I have tried to integrate with with a grid contol I’ve hit a brick wall. It’s still on my radar (along with a thousand other things though).
