Dashed yellow border around some variables within the variable table?

Hi All, 

I've got a mill chain sprocket configuration that is dependent on multiple variables, link below. I was inspecting my variable table just now and noticed that several variables are outlined in a dashed yellow border - I've only made two configurators so far but the exact same variables in both files appear this way.

I'm not having any problems with the model (that I am aware of), but wondering if anyone knows what the border is supposed to indicate. I did some research and found that dashed yellow lines indicate inferencing in sketches, but it seems weird that this feature would translate to my manually defined variable table. 

Any ideas? This is solely to satisfy my curiosity so no harm if not. 

Thanks! 

Stormi

    The yellow border means the values are set in a configuration table. This applies across anything that is "configured" (i.e. not just variables but dimensions on sketches, selection areas in features, etc...)
