Maybe I am missing something. Is there any way to immediately create a variable, when I have to select one in one of the action dialogs? Shift-F2 only works, when no dialog is open. And INS does nothing in the drop down of the variables.
On text fields, you can press F3 to add new variables but it doesn’t work on drop down lists. I just pushed a fix for that, however we are still working on how to reload the list of variables when that happens in a generic manner (given there are over 600 forms where this may be needed).
Also currently, if you add a new variable via F3, but then then cancel the action dialog, the project is not marked as modified and the new variable will be lost if you don’t save the project. This will be fixed in the next update.
Thanks for your answer and the prompt fix.
