Only the name displays and not the rest of the text
That's 100% not true. Why would you write that? I'm using hundreds of variables and never used "insert > references". When you write variable name in a textbox and wrap it in %% it should go in nice yellow box to let you know that everything is ok. Here's something wrong.

These are no magic or something, they are perfectly fine. If you are starting a new project that should be a frist thing to do, as Articulate will eventually fully migrate into modern text boxes and therefore this advice will cause you problems in future, when you are forced to upgrade text boxes.
Slides would be useful for diagnosing the problem, as always.
My 2 cents on the Modern text boxes. Articulate in a somewhat older update introduced them as default and immediately got dozens of responses and bugreports of users having problems with them. So fine they werenot at that moment. Quite quickly they put out a new update reversing the default back to the old textboxes. Whether the textboxes work flawless at the moment i am not sure about, but as history confirms it is not certain they will become the new format for text as users reported a lot of issues with them. Quite a lot companies i know do not update their Storyline versions the moment Articulate updates them. Too often things have bugs in them still. So they wait a few updates...do some tests with older projects whether all works as before. If so, they update.
