Hello again,

 

When you hit the “Add Variable” button you can add any type, because the type of the variable to be added is yet to be determined (thus it can be any type).

But if you try to bind an existing variable, it can only bind the properties and fields of it’s existing type. In your example image, the type of the variable is “float”. Thus only float properties and fields will show up as possible to be bound since a variable type can not be changed like this for safety since that would create problems in tasks where it is already used.

The type of the variable can be also be seen in the popup menu by the way.

BBVarType

But of course, you can simply add a new bound variable of any type like you said, through the “Add Variable” button 🙂

Please let me know if that clarifies what is happening.

Thanks!
