variable/fields/? in libreWRITER

[Michael Havens]

Okay..... I go to insert->fields->other->variables->set variables. then I
set format as text and enter the variable name then a value- press insert
and it enters the field as it should. I can't figure out how to change the
variable though. When I enter a new value nothing happens  and if I click
insert it inserts the new value. How do I get it to change the value of the
variable?
