Forums Bug Reports set -gu0 affecting local variables

In the presence of a local var, set -g alters the local var without affecting the global var. This also affects the -u0 switch, causing the global var to not be unset after the script.

There is no change regardless whether or not the -gu0 switches are used.

Thanks for your bug report. The /set command has never had a -g switch. There is a /var -g switch which was requested many years ago which allows /var to affect global variables. However /set simply affects either local variables if they exist and, if they don't, global variables. That said, it should be possible to add a /set -g as well.

Something I thought about, if /set -g is ever added, it might be worth nothing that /var -g currently calls /set without -g, and that shouldn't change, so possibly /var -g would need to be extended to get /set to use -g as well, to force the set of the global variable. A good (typical) idea: -g or -g0 for the current behavior (/set), and -g1 for /set -g

So, um, it was already added bro.

//set -sl %test local | set -sg %test global | echo -a $var(%test,0) : local? 1= $var(%test,1).local , 2= $var(%test,2).local : var= %test
//echo -a %test

> global

I was under the impression it was already there but checked the help file only.
