The value of a variable is not updated when its DDE is
modified by another entity (Text or Conditional Data Module.)
(Current behavior) For example, consider a variable Test_Var bound
to a primitive numeric DDE Var_Data with a default
value of 2. Now, if Var_Data is also used
by Text Module Text_T1 unprotected, and updating
its value to 3 does not change the value of Test_Var,
which remains unchanged at 2.However, installing the patch
will ensure that the value of the variable is updated.
(Changed behavior) For example, consider a variable
Test_Var bound
to a primitive numeric DDE
Var_Data with a default
value of
2. Now, if
Var_Data is also used
by Text Module
Text_T1 unprotected, and updating
its value to
3 changes the value of
Test_Var to
3.
Important: However, if the variable is manually updated,
it is dissociated from its binding DDE.
