I’m not sure what caused this exactly but I have a variable (an action list parameter actually) which is not in the watch list, and which can’t be added to it. It simply doesn’t appear in the list when I choose “Add Watch”. But it’s not actually in the list of watches, so I can’t simply remove it and re-add it, for example.
I have a feeling when I originally added it to the watches, there was some kind of error message or exception that made it slip through the cracks like this, but unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention.
Maybe if there was some way of resetting all the watches or something…?

That’s a bug. the Watches frame currently cannot watch Action List Parameters successfully.
We’ll look into updating it so that it can.

Ah yeah, just worked that one out. Could they also appear in the Project view, as subnodes of their action list? At the moment, action list parameters have a really low visibility…which is a pity because they’re quite nice.

Hi Steve,
I think that’s a good feature as well. It was only in FinalBuilder 5 that Action List Parameters “came into their own” alongside variables, so some of this support is lagging. I’ll put it on our to-do list, though.
