[iecorrect] Remove column `strvalue` from `other` tab #208

Closed luizaandrade closed 1 year ago

If the "strvalue" column is left blank, it deletes the contents of the string variable. I would expect that this would leave it unedited.

I see your point. The point of this column is to edit the value of the string, and that often means deleting the content after recoding it, at least in how I use it. I think, however, we can simply remove this column so that all changes to string variables can only be done in the string tab. What do you think?

That works great! I definitely don't think this tab should be editing the underlying string.
