Compile or no compile when changing items in initial values section for script editor?

[Jim_Okapal]

In EBO when you write a script, you usually compile the script so that the

inputs/outputs can show up correctly in the Initial Values section.  After that

you can change the types to float, integer, Boolean, also change the units and

initial values.  It required another compile after that before you leave the editor.

For the MPX script editor, I can change these values and send to station, come

back to the script editor and they still show up.   Is it best practice or still mandatory

to perform  a new compile when changing these settings similar to EBO, or doesn't

it matter in this case and you are allowed to just send to station if there were no

actual script changes made in the document?
