Productivity 3.7.1.6 VMW Instruction

The instruction seems to poll and update correctly, but it won't let me copy and paste if there is a structure tag within an array reference for either dynamic syntax or a variable.

 

PastHoursTotals(2),(PastHoursIndex.Current)

 

If I change it from a structured tag it will let me copy and paste it.

 

PastHoursTotals(2),(PastHoursIndexCurrent)

 

It's not a big thing just an FYI on something buggy.

 

VMW unable to copy

  • I did recreate the instruction from scratch in the current version.

     

    I should have been more specific. It won't let me copy / cut / paste the actual instruction.

     

    I can't copy the instruction and paste it in another rung. Also if I cut the instruction out of a rung I can't paste or undo the cut.

    Was the project created in another? If so what version? I tried this in a project I created with 3.7.1.6 and it seems to work.

     

    Also maybe explain exactly what and how you are copy and pasting. I am just copying a variable tag to another variable tag. 2D with a structure as second index like you showed.

     

    Thanks

    I am assuming that structure is from a counter or timer. I tried both. I had tried to copy and paste the instruction also as I thought that might be what you were trying to do. All still works for me so I must be doing something different.
