Description dwight7 2018-06-29 14:20:04 UTC 
It is normal for variables defined under the HTTP recorder to be substitued in the recorded request ( like HOSTNAME = my.host.domain.com defined as a variable under the recorder will substitute $HOSTNAME whenever it encounters my.host.domain.com in the recording ).

However, i had the variable TIMER_DELAY=0 defined directly under the testplan (NOT in the http recorder). and whenever i recorded anything, it would be filled with $TIMER_DELAY variables where ever there had been a "0" in the request.

this is a bug.

Hello,
It's not a bug, it's a feature currently, as there is no difference between User Defined Variables scope
So requalifying as enhancement.
