InstallShield XML File Changes

InstallShield 2008 has an interesting quirk when editing XML File Changes. When changing the value of an XML tag by typing a new value in, it doesn't like to get saved. You need to do something else on that screen like check/uncheck a box before the new value is saved. Or you can select the new value from the list of string values.

One thing I don't do well is use the string values from InstallShield. I like to type in the values I want instead of just changing the value of a string. I had several XML files that needed the exact same change. If I had properly used the string values, I could have just made the change once.
