This is a tool script to help editing the list of lightning variables.

It lets you modify current variables and/or create new ones.

How to use it:

Launch the script, the list of all current variables and an extra ‘create a variable’ entry will be shown.

Click a variable to see it’s type and value. You can modify it’s value and save it. If you click cancel it will ask to delete it.

If you choose ‘create a variable’ input a name and a value and it will be created.

Note: the variables are set using lightning’s action ‘set a variable’. This means that the value is converted to it’s type by lightning itself, this script doesn’t use the script API calls because they need to specify a type.

For the ‘how does this work?’:

Saves lightning to force it to save the variables into the variables file.

Reads the available variables from the variables file (because there is no way to obtain the variables elsewhere, or at least I don’t know how)

Shows the list of variables to choose, a lot of prompts, etc.

To set/create a value it calls lightning activity ‘set a variable’.

To delete a variable it calls LL.getVariables().edit().setString(name,null).commit();
