Hello,  
Can you add these some enhancement in Configuration list View?  
1 - Save sort column: When you add/change system parameter, all are resorted and you are lost.  
2 - Add Path and Attribute name in column Header: So you can access it using ReadCfgData  
3 - Change Edit Window background color when you’re not able to Write it: Or add a “Read Only” in windows title.

Thanks!

FYI, its not Firefox, its a new annoying forum policy.

</div>

@DenisFR , can you please elaborate on the second point? You want the path and attrib. name added to the column just so you can read it ReadCfgData? Can you provide an example use case that needs this implementation (specifically via the column header)?

Hello Denis,

I ran this by R&D and here is the decision:

Unfortunately, your 1st and 2nd suggestions will not be implemented.

But the 3rd will! 🙂

Thanks,  
1rst is the most important to my eyes. It’s really a pain to add signals…

</div>

Can you perhaps record a video where you show the problem and how you solve it? And how it becomes undone when you add a signal?

A clear use case might sway R&D.. 🙂
