If you use a slider-block there is a local variable value.  
If you insert i.e. a local storage block there is a local variable with the same name value.  
I did not find a method to give these local variables different names.  
So if you need both local variables of a block with another block included, you run into problems.  
What did i do wrong? Or is it really a problem?  
Normally you can rename variables. But for me that did not work with local variables.

You are right, so you need to create a variable block, for example, “tmp” and attach the first “value” block to it. After that you can work with “tmp” and the second block value.

Thanks for pointing out the issue with the local variables. I’ll make sure that it is in our bug queue.
