Issue/Introduction

Promptset "set value by variable" setting is ignored when promptset is attached to object

Investigation:

Create Promptset:

1. Create Promptset
2. Put a textbox on it
3. Set some regular expression expectation on the textbox. i.e. "VAL\d+" (matching "VAL123" but not "hello")
4. Set the "Default Value" on "Set by Variable"
5. Enter default value for the textbox to a variable name i.e. &VAR1#

Create Object

1. Create any executeable object 
2. Attach the above promptset to it
3. Try to save

The "Set by Variable" value "&VAR#" seems to be converted to a "Text value".

Environment

Release : v12.3.2 / v12.3.3

Component : AWI

Workaround:

To re-enable the "Set by variable", you need to,
