[2.1.17] Can't modify variables when debugging

[hgschmie]

It used to be possible to modify the values of variables (locals, globals etc.) in the debugger by right-clicking in the Variables section in vscode. Using FMTK 2.1.9 and Factorio 2.1.17 however, it looks like this:

It is still possible to do so in the Debug console (player_index = nil works fine)

2.1 does not support this. use the console to assign new values.
