Feature for using variable values in Comment commands about taskt

How would you expect this to work? Some variables are only set while a task is running, such as using 'Set Variable' command. I think we could pull a variable if it exists and has a value in the 'Variables' screen but that is not the only scenario.

Otherwise we would probably have to run the script 1 time to actually have it do the replacement. I think that might be a better way -- create a setting that indicates whether the automation engine should replace comments with variable text after running...

Sorry, i inaccurately expressed. When we start script many times and it handles with different values of variables, i like to know then in logs what values pass the script... That is why i'll try to save it to Add Comment. Can you advice me how and where i can save exact values from each start of script?

Ok, I understand. We can add a setting when the engine starts to process Comments at run-time so it will log the actual value of the variables within comments and write to log files. We could also add a new command to enable logging from the script.

In the meantime, you could use Text File Commands > Write to File and specify the text to be written as something like:

[DateTime.Now] - Desktop Path Variable: [Folder.Desktop]

Comment Commands will process variables during execution now and you can now use Data Commands > Log Data to log specifically to the engine instance or a custom log file.
