When I try to fill a variable with the content, the Web interface does not act on clicking on the reference button. The text field I am editing is just closed.

 ![Variables Not in Advanced Flow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/3/d36d6102df84c511e5eccbbb391448fabf570df0.jpeg)  
It worked before - I could use the variable _ **Crontest** _, which I did some months ago, but I cannot add another text- or number variable for the text.  
In some cards it works, in calculation cards, _set_ cards and some other cards it does not.  
And it seems to be different (or not) within standard flows.  
I have a HP23 version 11.0, and use Mozilla Firefox to work on the PC interface.  
I do not know if I changed some settings, if some browsers do not work well with that version, or if the issue is somewhere else.

Try restart / another browser: Chrome (or even Edge , I think)

Thank you @Rrrr ,  
Chrome seems to work.  
I just do not want to be stipulated to a specific browser. 🥴  
I guess I have to contact Athom.

Only Chromium based browser are generally supported. I wonder why I didn’t have any problems before.  
Now I use _ **ungoogled-chromium** _ (64-Bit) 🤣 😂
