1. I will look into this.

2. You cannot use a 'blank' (white space), it will be stripped bu the XML parsers.
If it's for HTML you can better use ' ' (without the quotes)

01. thank you

02.
but the value is not the problem, the value is correct … it will display a blank space … so it is converted correct
the problem is the real value is switched for the hidden value, the real value is not stored

This is because the XML parser will see the space as an empty value and ignore it (as if there was no hidden/real value).

yes, I figured at much …
but can it not be set so that "if it is a blank space" then insert a blank space and keep the real value ?

some sort of workaround for me would be to create an empty variable like …
var myEmpty='';
false~'+myEmpty+'
that would work in some cases …

but can that not be done internal, "if it is a blank space" then insert a blank space and keep the real value ?

hello support,

could the EB3 color input maybe be made editable, so you can input i.e. transparent or a variable instead ?

That will be difficult because it requires a redesign of the color selector, which is used by almost all WWB objects.
