Proficy Machine Edition - Input longer initial values

[Jaycobie]

I'm getting frustrated creating arrays of variables in Machine edition.
I need to make 2 variable arrays that are 102x2 in size, with varying binary and integer values, but populating the arrays is annoying.

Generally, if it's a small array then I can create a list of all the array values and input them into the "Initial value" of the parent category variable in brackets like such: {32, 16}, {40, 17}, {41, 18}, {43, 19}, {44, 20}, ...
My problem is that machine edition can only handle an unpractically small number of characters in it's "Initial value" text input, leading me to only being able to populate a tiny fraction of the whole array this way.

I can't find any setting inside machine edition 9.5 that allows for longer text input in that space.
Anyone have any tips or tricks for me to use this, or do I have to keep making macro scripts to copy and paste values from a spreadsheet?

Can you use multi dimensional array like 11x10x2 which would be 110x2 and have two different index?

Export the variables to a csv file, which will include a field for initial values. Open the csv, enter the initial values, save and then import the modified csv file. When prompted, be sure to check to overwrite existing.

Exporting the values and importing them worked like a charm. I did see that I could export but I didn't know I could import variables, for some reason that just didn't occur to me. Thanks a bunch!
