Many times we have a function like isValid or getElements or similar wherein a local variable is declared at the start ( like boolean valid = true or List<String> ele = new ArrayList<>() Post that based on various conditions that local field is populated/modified and finally returned from that function.

As a debugger, my objective is to see when that element is modified or updated ( to see if it is working as per expectation).

Similar to field watchpoint, there should be a way to see a modification breakpoint on these local variables.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
