Hi,  
I am using persistent variables to store Build versions, it works quite fine. Just one thing - is it possible to view current values (and edit them possibly) from the FinalBuilder UI (in the Edit Variables dialog are only default values) ? Currently I used action “Prompt For Variables (Enhanced)” to display them and correct if necessary.  
Just wanted to make the process fully automatical, but keep the posibility to check if everything is fine before running the process and checking output.  
  
Thanks.

Hi Josef,  
  
If you click on the Watches tab in the bottom pane of the IDE, then you can add watches and edit the values of watched variables.
