It's not that the variables is renamed to data but the categories renamed to data
Oh, so you mean ike putting variabes and ists in a category caed “Data”?

No support. We should add back lists instead..
Don't quote for no reason.
No. I am agreeing with him. It is constructive. There is nothing wrong with that.

However, it doesn't add to the discussion; if one would like to explain their support or no support, they should create their own explanation instead of quoting someone else's.

No. You are wrong. I exactly agree with him. It does add to the discussion as it shows someone agrees with someone's opinion they already put, without having to go over what is said again.

This type of quoting, scratch team members are fine with. You are wrong.

It doesn't give any new ideas to the discussion. This has been said many times on many topics, but the Suggestions forum is not a ballot box.

Semi-Support, its called variables in a lot of programming languages, Data reminds me of the guy from Star Trek, Data sort of makes sense to me in the sense that Cloud variables store actual data.

Normal variables store actual data too.

Short-term data is still data nonetheless.

Why is this thread just “people don't understand what the word data means”? Data is information that is stored in memory, it's really not that hard to understand.

As for the suggestion itself, sure. It doesn't bother me very much either way honestly, but “variables” is pretty long, “data” is a more obvious title for really young kids in my opinion, and the name “variables” doesn't mention lists. (I guess lists are technically variables but ehh.) Support.

But not all variables are necessarily data.
Can you give an example of when a variable is not data?
set [Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you v] to [1]
its a rickroll
the name of the variable is a rick roll

They weren't using it as a ballot box; they were saying they agreed with somebody else, but they didn't want to restate an opinion that had already been said.

Almost Everything is data, everything is data when you're coding, everything is data! Even your dreams. No support.
