Changing value type is a bit odd

[vadi2]

Sample case:

• create new var, give it a the data of 1, save it
• value becomes number (OK)
• change the value to a string, save, it becomes number again (I wanted it to become a string)
• change it to the text true, save, it becomes a string now (well, that works, but ought to be boolean)
• change the value to string, save, it becomes boolean

I think this is occurring because the dialog upon save only reads back and auto-casts the value of variable, but it does not set the type on a variable that you've selected upon saving. If it did that, I think this problem would be avoided.

Fixed this. I disagree with: change it to the text true, save, it becomes a string now (well, that works, but ought to be boolean)

If you declare a string to the value of true, it should be a string. It's not auto-casting once the variable is set.

Fair enough
