Configuring a variable assignment with unit conversiondl-permalink__symbolPermalink

A variable that was assigned in a visualization can be linked with a unit conversion. This causes the variable value to be converted according to a predefined rule and the result is edited in the visualization.

You have already configured the conversion rules in the editor of an object of the type “Unit Conversion”.
