Hi,  
  
i need two variables i can change by starting a build manual. That works fine  
with configuration-variables. The Problem is, that i cant find a way to overwrite  
the value of the configuration-variable after the build success. I want the new value  
in the Build-Start dialog next time.  
  
How can i solve it?

Hi,  
  
We don’t currently have a way to persist variables between builds. Each build takes its own copy of the variables to work with. We do not share these variables as there would be concurrency issue when multiple builds run at the same time.   
  
Can you share more information on the use-case for this - what are you trying to achieve?  
  
We do have plans to implement a persistent variable store for Continua in the future.&nbsp;Meanwhile, you could workaround this by using FinalBuilder to persist the variable in a file stored on a share or committed to a repository, however you are still likely to have issues with concurrent builds.
