Situation: I’m building a listbox component, and want to be able to select an item in that list and assign it to a variable in a prototype. I also want to be able to re-use this same component for multiple similar scenarios (same options, different variable endpoint). And I thought I could use a variable as a placeholder to assign the correct endpoint dynamically.

Current Results: When I assign the listbox value to the variable that is being passed to the placeholder variable the variable the functionality works by default, but as soon as I dynamically re-assign the variable to a different endpoint, everything breaks.

The following video shows the current behavior, and I suspect because of it, this is an unintended bug with variables at the moment?
