I run into this fairly often...if a label or other thing has a field and a var is also assigned, your typing edits won't work. For example: add label my_dogs_name and set the text to Rumplefeathers in attribute
Next assign a text var: lastname_var in the attribute box
Later on you decide to edit the default text to Growler, but the change will be ignored.
If you want to make a change, you have to delete the var attribute, type in the change (now you see the change take effect), then put the var name back into the attribute box.
Any change entered into the text box should always take effect, even if a text var has also been added as an attribute
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is bug that has plagued our programming staff (AKA Don) for a number of years. However, this has already been fixed and will be in the next release.
