    I've run into this problem too and need to find a way to fix it. This is what I've found:

    When creating new components for TXB I'm adding public string accessors. This works fine in TXB until; I add a new component to the scene object, add a new link point, change the collision polygon, mount it, set the world limits, modify a list in one of the components, basically do anything in TXB. This immediately clears out all string fields not in a list on the scene object.

    I noticed that public string accessors are not used anywhere in TXB components except inside lists and I don't want to create lists in of every component. Since all of the other standard variable types work outside of lists it seems reasonable that you should be able to use string. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmmm, haven't heard about this one before. I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know if there's a simple fix. As a temporary workaround, you could use enums instead of strings, assuming there's a small set of strings that are used.
