Studio - cannot change the scope of a variable on older projects

How come I now can’t change the scope of variables from the ‘Data Manager’-panel?
Pre update it was easy to just change it. Now I have to either ‘Edit’ the variable from the ‘Data Manager’-panel, or be in an appropriate scrope and do the change in the Variables-panel.

That’s true! I miss that feature.

Hi @smorkster ,

Just wanted to learn more about this behavior in order to repro it and investigate it further. Currently on a new project I’m able change the scope:
ChangeScopeInDM

  1. Does this happen on an existing project or on new projects?
  2. Are other properties on variables disabled on the Data Manager?
  3. Does this happen when creating a new variable?
  4. Are other types in Data Manager disabled?

Many thanks,
Raluca

Hello!

  1. If I start a new project, I can change the scope for variables. But for any project created before this update, the scope is disabled. Note here that I only use C# as language in all my projects, if that is worth noting :slight_smile:

  2. I have only seen that I can’t change scope, all other settings are enabled for each variable i Data Manager.

  3. I created a new variable in an existing project and the scope is disabled

  4. I have no other types, that I can remember right now, that I can check for

I moved the discussion to a separate topic for better tracking.

Hey @smorkster ,

Thank you for the additional details here. We’re currently working on a fix for this. One quick update, the issue here seems to be when using the setting to Group items by scope so removing this setting could be another workaround:

Thanks,
