Hi,  
I create a new Bootstrap 4 page and open it as a project.  
Example is the pricing.html offered in the “new page” screen  
I have the pricing.html open.  
I open the Stylesheet \_variables.scss in the styling panel.  
Then I search for heading since I want to do something with the $heading-color in \_variables.scss.  
I right click $heading-color and then choose custom.scss.  
After I clicked that file nothing happens it does not switch to the custom.scss in the style panel. Also custom.scss does not get this variable in the file when I check the file in the editor. I tried stop and starting PGW 5.991 again but did not help. I have seen this behaviour before with my PGW versions,

Hi @mazzel,  
That context menu can be a little tricky. After you select the file where you want to duplicate the variable into, you have to click ‘customize’ again, like so:

Cheers,

Ah, just after posting this Issue I found how to solve it…  
When I first right click the variable to customize it then I have to choose which file it should go to.  
I then choose: custom.scss.  
Nothing happened after that selection. It did not open custom.scss  
But what I missed is that I must click after that selection left from the file name, it acts somehow as a button I think. I marked that area green in below picture, so there is where you have to click to get it done !

p.s. I found this fix after looking very close to the video from Matjaz: [How to easily customize Bootstrap 4 with Pinegrow Web Editor - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4ciqMHQIKs&t=902s) or page [https://pinegrow.com/docs/bootstrap-visual-editor/customize-bootstrap-4-themes/](https://pinegrow.com/docs/bootstrap-visual-editor/customize-bootstrap-4-themes/)

OH!  
if that is the same menu used for overiding framework styles such as bootstrap etc, then I think that is what used to catch me out too.  
Not terribly intuitive UI there.  
normal convention, you’d expect the _last step_ to be AFTER the selection, ie, on the right or below (if your a western style reader that is)
