Variables not listed in Input dropdown in manual test tab

Hi
using Katalon Studio 5.8.6.
Summary: In manual view of Test Case it is not possible to see variables listed as inputs.

Objective is to create a test case manually, using mainly variables for inputs.
First step - capture Objects.
Second - Variables declared within the ‘Variables’ tab of Test Case, along with Type & Value.
Third - create steps in ‘Manual’ view.

Issue occurs when using variable in test step - eg ‘Verify Element text’ should take variable as ‘Input’. When I click ‘Input’ in Manual view and change ‘Value Type’ to ‘Variable’, the ‘value’ field appears as a dropdown but there are no entries.
I’m sure all variables used to be listed here?
The test case works if I type the variable into that field but requires me retyping or copy/pasting.

I have saved project, used ‘Clean Up’ and been opening and reopening the project over the last few days, but variables still do not appear in dropdown.
Many thanks
Dan

Just I guess … you need to save all changes made after the Second step before Third step.

Second - Variables declared within the ‘Variables’ tab of Test Case, along with Type & Value.

_ 2.5 - Click “Save All button”_

Third - create steps in ‘Manual’ view.

Hi - tried this unfortunately. Even after saving, closing Katalon and reopening it, then editing the same test case… still no variables in drop down. Cheers

Thank you Kazurayam - I searched before I posted but didn’t manage to find that one. That is exactly the problem I have though. Am I able to mark this as a duplicate and then add this to other thread for further evidence? Cheers
