Setting Labels to Variables, Objects and Watches
On this page:
Introduction
You can add your own label to a variable, object, or watch and then reference it as if it were a local variable <label-name>_DebugLabel defined in the same context where the expression is evaluated. IntelliJ IDEA also displays these labels in suggestion pop-up lists for code completion in the Evaluate Expression dialog box.
Settings and removing labels
To set a label
- Select the desired watch in the list
- Select Mark Object on the context menu or press F11. The Select object label dialog box opens.
- Specify the label name.
- Click the Browse button
to change the label color. Click OK when ready.
To remove a label, right-click the item and select Unmark Object on the context menu, or select the item in the list and press F11.
