I am trying to use several SetGaugeVariableAction actions in my scenario XML file.
For example, say I want to set the gauge var L:SomeVariable to True:
<SimMission.SetGaugeVariableAction InstanceId="{49812E42-3A16-408C-82C4-40248B83485F}">
<Descr>SetSomeVariableToTrueAction</Descr>
<GaugeVariableName>SomeVariable</GaugeVariableName>
<GaugeVariableValue>1.000000</GaugeVariableValue>
<GaugeVariableUnits>boolean</GaugeVariableUnits>
</SimMission.SetGaugeVariableAction>
This is the desired XML code that works as intended. However, in the SimDirector GUI, you can't really set a "cutom" gauge var. You are given a drop down list with a search box. Eg. I cannot enter "SomeVariable"

Normally this wouldn't be an issue because I can simply edit the XML file manually to set the variable. No big deal. However, whenever I edit the XML manually, then save the project in SimDirector, it resets the GaugeVariableName property in the XML to the first item in the list in the GUI.

For instance, here it would always reset it to map_ZoomStep when saving the project. So whenever I edit my projects in SimDirector, I must manually go back and edit the SetGaugeVariableAction actions and set the GaugeVariableName property again.
Hopefully this is an easy fix.
Thanks, dexton.
