PAD - String append with <td> html element shows as <Variable> when dialog closed

 

Please see screenshot, I am working on making a giant string of HTML in order to custom format and fill a table at runtime to end up in an email, but when I try to use the <td> element in a Set variable command, it ends up saving with <Variable> instead

 

I suspect it's some collision with a data table, but this is not being used in this context, only text/strings are used here

    I do this all the time and haven't run across this; although, I'm always building it on top of a pre-existing variable.

     

    So for example, one I have is: %EmailBody% = <table><tr><th>Unit</th><th>Voucher</th><th>Supplier</th><th>Supplier Name</th><th>PO Number</th><th>Amount</th><th>Days Pending</th></tr>

     

    And then in my loop I have: 

    %EmailBody% = %EmailBody%<tr><td>%VoucherData[0]%</td><td>%VoucherData[1]%</td><td>%VoucherData[2]%</td><td>%VoucherData[3]%</td><td>%VoucherData[4]%</td><td>%VoucherData[5]%</td><td>%VoucherData[7]%</td></tr>
