Variable Name Colour

[jont]

Working on a site where the client had styled the SectionName variable - right click a variable > edit appearance. A colour was declared. Trying to remove the colour using Automatic does not reset the styling - anything in the actinic.css is still over ridden by the local styling set against the variable.

Almost an hour or staring at lines of CSS to see why my styling would not change the section name link colour!

Resorted to copying the SectionName variable from elsewhere and pasting into the layout to replace the locally styled version. nice.

Thought I would vent some grrrrr and it may help anyone else with the same issue.

If you expand the variable you can get to the formatting code underneath and manually delete it, only way I've found you can get rid of it, a truly awful feature imo.

I can't really see the point in allowing formatting to be included in the variable creating span tags all over the place.

a truly awful feature imo.

What ever possessed the powers to include it beggars belief.
