There are two ways to modify the script:
1. Directly changing the reported value. In our example from 10 to 100 and click on ADD. Remember to put the Default flag and give a new name if you want to reuse it.

2. Using variables. You can set the variable WARNING and put your value in the right box. In this way you are able to change it without recreate the script. Remember to put the Default flag and give a new name if you want to reuse it.
