VSCode Watch does not work for Fields of Record variables
Describe the bug When you're debugging an App and you try to add a Watch on a Field of a Record variable, the Watch window shows the Field incorrectly as "Out Of Scope".
To Reproduce See attached GIF below
Expected behavior The Watch window should show the correct Field value by adding the name of the Record variable (as was manually done in the GIF below)

These are deficiencies in the VSCode debug adapter protocol we are using, the integration piece in VsCode. Scenarios like this are not really supported for now. We will see what we can do about it, but I would not bet on short term resolution.
@atoader I think this problem needs some attention. It is still not solved 1 1/2 years after the opening of the issues.
i have just tested the WATCH and as of today using the latest available BC and VS Code version the issue is still there :(
