FB 8.0.0.972&nbsp; Win7  
  
In FB7, I have a number of Project variables, defined as Persistent.&nbsp; When I load data into them, the values remain for later use when running different actions within the project.  
  
in FB8, the variable values are lost once the Run action that included setting the variable, has finished.  
  
For example, variable called aTest, string, persistent checked, no default.  
Add action : Set variable to 'hello world’  
Add action : Log variables, selecting aTest  
  
If both actions are run at once, aTest = 'hello world’  
If the first action is run, and then the second, aTest = ''  
  
Have I missed something ?

Hi Sue   
  
 I can reproduce this here… very strange, looking into it.
