Please advise what I am missing here. I created a user variable called name . In node 1, I first print the variable @user.name to show it is empty. I then have a raw input to ask for a name and save it to name. I then print the variable @user.name again to show it captured the name in the variable. This works just fine; however, my understanding is that, because it is a user variable, I should be able to exit this session, come back in however much time, and the variable will still hold the name value captured in the last session such that when I run the bot again, the very first thing I should see is the name that was captured in the previous session (or first session, if applicable). In other words, the value of name would not be empty because it was saved in the previous session. Is this correct? If so, why might this not be working. If not correct, please advise. Much thanks!
