If you generate a scalar from another scalar (you can, using the Generate option even though it's a bit clumsy without the scalar selector) it does not get updated. If you create a label from it, the label obviously does not update - which is a use case we discussed recently... The name of the scalar is also not very elegant ("fixme: set _slaveName!") 

Reproducible: Always

The scalar entry box is converting the scalar to a number at creation time - the new scalar just gets the value, so there is no updating.

What is the use case for having scalars made from scalars?
