Hi,

as from my understanding, you can rename a variable neither from the settings dialog nor from the variable overview; the only solution I know is to delete it and add a new one with a new name. I already missed that feature a couple of times and would appreciate if it'd be there (but perhaps I only didn't find it up to now :-(( )

Hi,

in script should be something like

LET iOldVariable = 1;
LET iNewVariable = iOldVariable;
LET iOldVariable = Null();

Hi biester,

you are correct. The only thing in between would be to copy the definition of the variable into the new one, thus saving some typing.
