When renaming a variable (I added “ƒ” in front of the name) created within a function block, the variable should be renamed in all blocks within the function definition and the Variables drawer. Currently, the renamed variable becomes a new variable instead. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/3/a3741951b0984586f4b6e6640ed1a5712755c32c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/7/97c043e32e99c531b6584fe5655f23e9a1579572.png) ---

Hi @tatiang I can replicate this only when it is a variable block (with the old name) connected to my blocks when I change the name. If you don’t want a variable you can delete it: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/9/294a0cd75a1e729049ec217aa6019d7e70eec81e.png)
