To add a context variable in a node with a single reply, I just add the var once in that response and that's fair enough.
But in multiple replies node, I must configure each response and add the context variable in each one with either context or JSON editor.
Can I add that only once?
If not what is the idea behind that?
Why does not even a node general variable option exist besides reply-specific ones?
The multiple response node is a way to easily have different responses nested together. Before this feature you had to create a node for every single response you wanted to do.
This appears to be a side-effect of this, but is easy to resolve.
Create your main node and set your context variable. Then create a child node and have the parent "Skip User Input". The child node should have your multiple responses.
