variable assignments in autoscripts should logged at the TRACE level

I believe it is good practice for automation scripts to log approximately 1 message at the INFO level per execution -- just enough to give a support person a clue that the script is running and that it did something. In addition to that, a script ...

The Global Binding Value for literal autoscript variables should allow nulls

For automation script variables of Binding Type LITERAL, the Binding Value needs to be permitted to be left blank / null. This will allow developers to make Variables optional and will not require them to craft garbage data, like "N/A", for their ...
