It would be nice to see “OBJECT” in the list of selectable types in the “new global variable” dialog. Currently if I select TEXT as the variable type, then try to define an object (using object literal notation), Servoy wraps the object in quotes. Additionally, if I create a new global variable of type object by hand, Servoy shows the variable as type TEXT (in the tooltip for example).

var foo = {name: “hello”}

should be type OBJECT

\*\*I know that in the past I have used type MEDIA to store objects, and currently in RC1 I can set the default value of a new global variable of MEDIA to object literal notation without Servoy wrapping it in quotes, but again, it would be nice to see type OBJECT.

Thanks
