Unexpected behavior when exporting String var in tool script

Question

I have a String var that I’m exporting from a tool script that sets a child Label’s text using a setter. However in the editor any text I type into the exported String field gets eaten and the Label is only updated with the most recent character I typed. None of what I type stays in the editor field. Is there a reason and/or

workaround for this?

Im assuming the set-method is called everytime you enter a character → the text gets reset with the latest character only as String, because you never set the responseText → responseText is always empty. A workaround could be:

func setLabel(text):
    responseText = text
    Label.text = text

That’s exactly it, can’t believe I missed that. Thank you!
