The community members are discussing a problem where it's difficult to keep track of where variables are defined in a component. They propose adding some kind of indicator in the navigator to show which components have variables defined. The discussion explores various solutions, such as adding search and filtering capabilities to the navigator, creating a common set of filters, and using a combobox interface. While there is no explicitly marked answer, the community members seem open to exploring different solutions to make it easier to manage variables in their components.
