Thanks for the report!

Set Test/Suite/Global Variable are dynamically setting the variable. They could also be used inside of a keyword or even a library and also conditionally. Thus RIDE can not always know that a variable exists - but in your example case IMHO it should be identified in similar way as ${LoginURL}= Set Variable Value

For the implementer of this feature @see local namespace

Unfortunately Set Test / Suite / Global Variable work in a very odd way compared to normal RF syntax..

Seems to require changes to localnamespace.py

Following should work after this:

Set Test Variable ${FOO} slkadlk Set Suite Variable \${bar} dl kslad Set Global Variable @{zoo} kdsjak dksajdksj dsakjdksj

So lines after that (in the same keyword / test case) should identify FOO, bar and zoo as variables .. also they should be allowed to exist as arguments for Set Test / Suite / Global Variable. Also the implementation should correctly handle cases where these keywords have been overridden with something else.
