Viewing variables for a release should evaluate nested variables
I regularly use nested variables to minimise the number of variable changes I must make between environments. Consider something like this:
data source=#{Database.Server};initial catalog=#{Database.Name};#{Database.Auth};
This allows me to just specify simple variables for the DB server, the DB name and the type of auth being used, without having to construct a connectionstring every time (and probably making the odd mistake).
It would be great if I could see the fully-evaluated variables when i click "Show variables" on a release - or at least have a switch between the raw variables and evaluated variables.

This functionality was release in 2018.3

How would it know what values to evaluate a variable to if the Database variables are environment specific?
