Hi DVAG Akademie,
Thanks for reaching out; I'm happy to share some insight into your question!
It's expected that when you copy a slide with a dial object, a new variable will be created associated with the copy of the dial in the new slide. The last character of the variable name is an incrementing number based on the number of dials in the course. Only one variable can be associated with each dial object at a time. If you try to rename a variable with the exact name as an existing one, Storyline should return a warning, as shown below.
Let me know if you see something different; I'm more than happy to assist further as needed!
