Steps to Reproduce

2. Create a List Collector Variable:software and a Single Line Text Variable:description in the Variable set in step 1(List Collector Set)
3. Create a Catalog Item:"List Collector Test", add the Variable Set:List Collector Set to it.
4. Create a Order Guide:"List Collector Test Order Guide" with Cascade Variables selected. Add the Variable Set(List Collector Set) to the Order Guide.
5. In the Order Guide(List Collector Test Order Guide), Create a Rule base with the Catalog Item (List Collector Test) selected in the "Include this Item" field.
6: On Service Portal, searching the Order Guide(List Collector Test Order Guide) and open the page
7. Select a item on List Collector Variable:Software and typing the words in Single Line Text Variable:description on the page
8. The description carries the value of Single Line Text Variable, but the List Collector Variable does not.
