How to update Map GlobalVariable permanently

Web Testing

No guarantee but you can try the below. Just add it below the current code from Marek. This overloads his method to work on a Map variable.

I ran it with:

println("Initial Map " + GlobalVariable.whatnot);

//(GlobalVariable.whatnot as Map).put('home', "blah");
(GlobalVariable.whatnot as Map).put('home', "mona lisa");

println("Updated Map " + GlobalVariable.whatnot);

// change selected profile
CustomKeywords.'com.GlobalVariableUpdater.updatePermanently'("test", "whatnot", GlobalVariable.whatnot as Map)

Edit: this is based on a Map I created as in my post above:

   <GlobalVariableEntity>
      <description></description>
      <initValue>[('bill') : 'debit', ('home') : 'debit', ('money') : 'credit']</initValue>
      <name>whatnot</name>
   </GlobalVariableEntity>

Make sure you have a backup copy of your Profiles before “playing” with the below.
