New variable immediately only available in dropdown menu, not in Expression editor

[ChrisF]

Hi,
when I’m creating a new variable in a trigger this is immediately available in the dropdown menu but not in the Expression Editor. To see the variable there too, I need to save the trigger and open it again.

I guess this is not the normal behaviour

Hi @ChrisF

I experienced the same and then did some testing.
I found out, that it is only with bigger variable structures (typically object lists from connector outputs) that cause these issues.

Further I found out, that you don’t need to close the trigger editor. If this happens, just wait two more seconds, switch to static value (or variable or so) and back to expression editior.
Only the expression editior, needs to be reloaded. It just seems to need some seconds to provide the new variable.

This mostly happens, if the expression editor is already open, when creating the variable.

Unfortunately this won’t help and solve the issue.
The expression editor isn’t open and the variable doesn’t appear (waiting for >10 Minutes).

The trigger isn’t too complexe:

So for me it’s a bug and I need to open a ticket :-/
