On my system I do not see any indication of the selected workspace (see attached screenshot).

The Help shows a yellow/orange border which seems to be missing here . Any suggestions?

There is no current workspace in that list. The current workspace has no name.
This list shows the workspaces you have created and when you load one of these, it is loaded into the current workspace.
This is how workspaces have evolved after a long discussion here in the community many years ago.

Not sure which screen shot you refer to (link?)
Probably I have forgotten to change it at the time.

The last workspace you have loaded (and which can be very different from the workspace you are currently working with) can be retrieved via the {Application.Workspace.Name} variable, if desired.

Might be this screenshot. It looks a bit as if "4 Maximum files" is somehow highlighted.

There is also a very old post declaring {Application.Workspace.Name}  as deprecated...

Yeah, well. Nothing ever dies ;D
The help comments this variable as the "last actively loaded" workspace. So this is OK.
I shall update the screen shot. By the looks of it it's still on Windows XP :)

Thanks, Mario and thrinn. I read both posts from 2020 and now understand the reasoning behind this behavior. Hopefully Mario will not remove the (deprecated?) variable {Application.Workspace.Name} because it allows the display of the last loaded workspace in the ID field. This was a suggestion by PaulS and it seems very useful while working on the development/improvement of multiple work spaces.
