RE: Dashboard parameters becoming read only

Looking at this params file you've some parameters in status and config menus. The status ones default to read-only whilst config menus are configurable depending on the widget hint. Can you try moving specific problem params outside of any menu and see how they behave? ------------------------------ ...

RE: stateless STRUCT_ARRAY

Thanks for the video - I'll pass this on to the product team, as the behavior appears to be inconsistent. If you need an entry to return to its default values and you're already using JSON to build structs in your project, I'd suggest creating a method to explicitly reset the entry. This avoids relying ...

RE: stateless STRUCT_ARRAY

The stateless attribute applies at the parameter level, and since a struct is effectively an array of parameters, it isn't inherited by child parameters. Unfortunately, this means the attribute is not automatically passed down. To get the desired behavior in Dashboard, you must explicitly set stateless="true" ...

In that case, the best approach would be to build a listener that receives the messages and lets you act on them as needed. That said, this may be over-engineering the problem. As an alternative, you could hide multiple functions behind labels or buttons with a RossTalk GPI Trigger, and use each of ...

I think there may be a red herring here. The parameters look fine in 9.16, so I suspect there may be a function manipulating them somewhere along the way. Would you be happy to share the project here, or would you prefer to go through Support? ------------------------------ Richard Crutwell Ross Video ...

Can you share a snippet from params XML for the parameters in question? Depending on the Type, Constraint and Widget Hint, the params may behave unexpectedly. They are sometimes attempting to snap to a specific widget type defined. Although it could also be a bug like you say. ------------------------------ ...

RE: Modify parameters based on the Choice parameter within the STRUCT

Posted By Richard Crutwell 12-16-2025 06:49
Found In Egroup: Facility Control \ view thread
No probs, there are other ways perhaps. I've changed the other 'struct' to 'struct_array' - you can nest struct arrays within another struct array, the param at the end still gave issues until changed to a 'string_array' however. zero one two three fed fed ...

It looks like the struct is reverting to a cached value, or default value. I noticed that the Struct Array is nested inside a struct, is there a reason for this? If not, I'd recommend separation for these two, it appears to work without the nested structure. zero one two ...

RE: Ross Dashboard Rosstalk GPI listener bug

It sounds like multiple ports for RossTalk are configured and the restart eventually favors the one used by the panel or preferences. In the panel there is the option to dedicate a RossTalk port, if this is also set to 7788 it'll conflict with the server port for Dashboard preferences giving odd and ...

The video and audio mapping happens in the Ultrix or BCS (control system) config, if using an Ultrix that is. There may be more expertise to answer a config question on the Connectivity Community instead. The Soft panels in the Ultrix are capable of breakaway audio sources, just must be configured ...

I've not seen these global constraints used before, I think they may be an older implementation and there is a newer method, likely using structs.
