    The variable name and value (or default value, if it is a default variable) are shown in the two fields at the top of the dialog box. You cannot edit these fields. Any change entries for the variable are listed in the middle of the Edit Variable dialog box.

Methods for modifying a long text entry in the Edit Variable dialog box

If the value you want to enter is particularly long or in a separate file, you can either type it or import it:

You can restore the Change field to the value of the selected change entry by clicking Undo.

  1. Select a configuration file.
  2. When you have edited this text, select File > Exit. You will get a dialog box asking whether you want to save your changes.
  3. Click Apply to add your modification to the change entry.
