The Authoring tab in Oxygen always displays the variable values from the latest version of a variables file, even if the writer has selected an earlier version of the variables file in Publication Manager. This configuration is confusing to writers, who must use an earlier version of a variables file while editing content in Oxygen.

It would be very helpful if the variable files were treated like topic files so that Oxygen displays the variable values from the version of the variables file selected in Publication Manager, and not automatically display the variable values from the latest version of the variables file.
