Problem: When I change a global variable, the other developers cannot see the changes, but I can. How can I define a global variable so that my changes can be seen by others through PBNative?

Do you have a set of common libraries all the devlopers use? Are they working on discrete copies of the entire application, refreshed by periodic copies from the master source? Have you confirmed that the application object (for it is that which contains the global definitions) has been checked back in? It may be that only your local copy of the application object has been altered not the master copy.

Consider using only one global variable - an object which has your formally global variables defined as public instance variables. Then you can refer to them via
Code:
gnv_<name>.is_string
(etc) in your code. Then when you need to add/change you would check the object out of the common libraries, do your changes, check it back in and all will be fine.

Cheers.
 
The advice was very helpful, it worked! Thanks!
