Hi there,

I discovered lately that the (native) widget value of an variable (which I change within the widget) is directly changed in the ‘variable list’ but not in the widget itself. Can be annoying. After restarting the Homey app the value changed.

Does not matter what type of variable. Text, Boolean, number

Anyone else experiencing the same?

@Doekse himself maybe?
