Is there a way to set a breakpoint on a variable, i.e., so the system breaks when the variable changes (regardless of the line of code)?

You can add a condition to a breakpoint in the breakpoint properties, but than it still only breaks on that particular line.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a “global conditional breakpoint”, please create a feature request in the [support system](http://www.servoy.com/s) about that.

servoy has support for this already.
If you go a place where you use or create a variable, then when you normally place a breakpoint, you can in the popup menu (where you have the option toggle breakpoint) you also have toggle watch point enabled
This way you can toggle a watch point on that variable.
Currently in 5.2 this doesn’t work for form or global variables, i fixed that for 6.
