assign to variable not working

[yotamv]

Hello,
I upgraded to version 6.5 and imported a task from a file.
I'm using file loop and Text loop.
I'm assigning file name to a variable and line text to a variable.
When selecting a variable or using the original imported variable the assignment is not working.
The reason is the curly brackets.
If I remove the curly brackets from the variable name in the assign line the assignment is working.
This seems to be a bug. Any advise?

Thanks you.

No. This is not a bug.
When you specify variable name you have to specify only variable name without braces.
This described in details here: How to use variables correctly

Thank you Oleg,
Read and understood.
Notwithstanding, there is some bug in that when using the variable button ({V}) to select the variable to assign a value to, it arrives with curly brackets.
This can be very confusing.

Regards,

Yotam

Commonly this mechanism is designed to put variables into some expressions

For example:
Now is {DateTime}

When you want to save some value into variable as a rule you specify new variable. So It's better to type variable name manually.

But pay attention: you can compose variable name with using other variables.
For example: string{num}
If variable NUM contains the number we can get such array of variables: string1, string2, string3....stringN
This gives you more flexibility in the task.

BUT if this is too complex for you it's better to avoid this. Just put only variable name explicitly without braces.
