Variable Not Showing in Preview Mode

I manually added a string variable to the Data Model, then added a positioned box to put the variable inside of, then saved my changes and changed the mode to Preview mode. I still can’t see the value of the variable in Preview mode. Anyone know why this may be the case?

Hello, did you defined a default value for this variable?
Can you describe the different steps to add the string variable? What Connect version do you use?

@Yann ,

I right-clicked in the Data Model tab and chose Add Field…
I then gave the variable a name, type, and default value and clicked OK
I created a positioned box, dragged the variable from the Data Model tab to the box, then changed the view to Preview
I was unable to see the value of the variable in Preview.

I am using version 2022.2.3.13959 of PlanetPress OL Connect Designer.

Hi, I could reproduce this. To view this variable, you have to Synchronize Fields and Structure from DataMapper and Template:
If you added the variable from the Datamapper view, select the Template and synchronize the field.
Can you try this?

I was able to fix my issue, thanks!
