Why? Suppose I want a variable to have value '234' for a while, then to have value '123' - but without anything being visible on the document. Say, because I intend to use this value in other fields which do result in text appearing in the document. Is that not a reasonable request? Of course, there's the problem of how to indicate this has happened when the field results in no text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
