Text Expander - Reuse

I create 3 text expanders as the following:

username - contains the username
password - contains a password
login_a - this references the username and password text expanders I created above

The username and password are used for several systems so I created different logins text expanders to identify their own unique name.

So, I duplicated "login_a" and called it "Cherrioes" which is a different system using the same login credentials.

FK is complaining about not being able to reuse the variable.

As a work around I created new Username and Password entries but this defeats the purpose of referencing specific entries. Basically when the password needs to change all I need to do is to change the single password entry, right now I would need to change all of the password entries because FK is not allowing me to re-use the single password entry.

Any chance this can be updated in future versions to allow the use of a single entry from other multiple entries?

Thank you...JGM

Do you use Insert Another Command macro? What is FastKeys complaining about (any message)?
