Feature Request: Set Global & Local Variable Type

[nicholaswilde]

When setting both global and local variables, it would be nice to be able to choose the type of variable similar to the Set variable task. Currently, only strings and decimals can be initiated in the local and global variables.

Use case: When trying to initialize a dimmer level from a local variable, the dimmer wouldn't set correctly because it was looking for a number and found a decimal instead.
