On older applications marked “Classic” I can create service variables, however on newly created “Starter” applications the “Add variable” button is disabled. Anything I need to do so that I can add variables to “Starter” apps?

Ah… I see what you mean. Yes, the device in the “Starter” application is still “Factory build”. Looking at the server vs env var release now. I think I’m still not clear on the difference. Is there a good doc that elaborates on the difference between the two? Here’s my (likely incorrect) unders…
