You can always post in the Github Discussion
https://github.com/orgs/codefori/discussions
or on Zulip https://chat.ibmioss.org/

1. It prompts with the command when you compile and you can change the
library there. If your action has a ? in front of it, it gives you a chance
to change it.  I think there is also a way to set a custom variable in the
latest version 3.0+ in the Environment View. I haven't tried it yet. Can't
send a screenshot thus the reason for Zulip.

2. When I right click on source member and click copy and tell it where to
copy, it copies the description along with it, so not sure how you are
copying?

3. I'm no help as I haven't gotten Debug set up.
