Publisher beta 2.2.0.1954, Windows: fields panel, can't change custom field name


Recommended Posts

1) Thanks😁 The refined Windows panel appearence looks so much clearer now 👍

The Windows issue with the truncated labels still exists. The panel persists the column width of the left label-column at least during one user session. But after app restart the column width is reset to default and the labels are truncated again. In consequence the user has to resize the column once for every user session to read the truncated parameter names.

Would be helpfull, if the last user defined column width could also be persisted like the panel size.

 

 

2) I can't rename a custom field - maybe this is intended behaviour ?

Steps:

a) I add a custom field to the palette with some inital value (German translation missing). OK so far.

b) Now i edit the field by clicking the button "Edit Custom Field" (German translation missing). The flyout dialog shows the text input with the current field name selected. It appears as if i could change the name. But as soon as i press any letter key the flyout dialog closes without letting me type into the input. If the field name may not be changed afterwards, the input might be disabled to indicate that the name is immutable ?

I'm seeing the same issue on macOS Ventura.
