Sequence line with control input (name) to get variable

Hey,

When building a variable name with another variable and formula and then trying to get the value of the variable which name you just build together, you need to sequence line the get variable where no name is specified as it doesn't wait for the control input (name).

I've attached two screenshots, vee_working & vee_not_working.

Have I missed something or is this buggy? Currently using VEE 8.5.

Regards,
Tobias

It's a feature. The dotted line gives the clue: control inputs are 'asyncronous' i.e. don't affect the flow and therefore your example shows them working in a synchronous way. There are times however when it is useful to have the control working asynchrously for example when updating a user interface control ( like a number input ) with a value computed from the change of another input. Also when initialising such controls you don't normally want to kick off the execution of anything, you just want to set the values to a useful default.
