+==== Get/Set Local & Instance Variables ====
+Keyboard Maestro Ver 8 introduced [[manual:Variables#Instance_Variables_v8|Local and Instance Variables]].  In order to get or set these, you need to use different parameters in the JXA get/set methods.  Here is an example.
+```javascript
+var app = Application.currentApplication()
+app.includeStandardAdditions = true
+var kmInst = app.systemAttribute("KMINSTANCE");
+var kmeApp = Application("Keyboard Maestro Engine")
+var myLocalVar = kmeApp.getvariable("Local__MyVar",  {instance: kmInst});
+kmeApp.setvariable("Local__FromJXA", {instance: kmInst, to: "Set in JXA Script"})
+```
