Greg you mentioned that our automation variables have scope. IE: You can have the same named variable inside and outside a loop but they are different variables.
We were considering making variables have global scope and also consolidating the 2 variable activities into one. The same variable would define and set the value.
Do you see any issues with this? Do you have a specific need for variables not being global? We think it would be easier for users to have global variables. Not all of use are programmers[:S]
