HMI - Text Input Field in Symbols
Is it possible to use Text Input Fields in Symbols?
The HMI Tag that I use in parameter is from the type udt.int.(AXC F 2152, newest PLCnext Engineer)
The fields are not visible at the page that includes the calling instances(faceplates).
best regards

Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delay.
Here is a short video that demonstrates how to attach a UDT field of type INT to a Text Input field on a Symbol in PLCnext Engineer version 2021.0.1.
It is also possible to define a Symbol Parameter of type ANY_NUM, connect that parameter to a Text Input field in the Symbol, and then - in the Symbol instance - connect that parameter directly to the INT field of the STRUCT variable in the program instance.
If we have misunderstood the problem, please let us know.

Ok, but why we don't see change of value inside the HMI Symbol after "Enter Text:" where we suppose to view and modify the variable on runtime webpage?
Best regards.
I also saw this behaviour once, but now I cannot reproduce it (and I have spent the past hour trying). I suspect that there is some temporary problem, where the value in the PLC was (for some reason) not transmitted to the web page.
If I can reliably reproduce this behaviour, then I will send a problem report to the developers.
