Can you try again changing 281 const auto name = QStringLiteral("%{") + var.name() + QLatin1Char('}'); to const QString name = QStringLiteral("%{") + var.name() + QLatin1Char('}');
(In reply to Dominik Haumann from comment #3) > Can you try again changing > > 281 const auto name = QStringLiteral("%{") + var.name() + QLatin1Char('}'); > > to > > const QString name = QStringLiteral("%{") + var.name() + QLatin1Char('}'); That does the trick. No crash and it adds variables into the text field. Thank you.
