Static data assignments for custom Symbols or Page Templates?
This is for PLCNext Engineer 2021.9
I started building a menu symbol to whisk my users around my interface and provide an easy, centralized update path in case of future changes. Unfortunately I found out that I cannot have a static Page reference in a symbol or page template. Is there any way or plan to allow a mix of Tag and direct access in the future? I have like 40 pages I need to reference otherwise, and there's no "Page Array" I can use either to make the update more elegant.
This also breaks my hack of using the mod of the Staion Number to direct the screens to either the standard 4:3 or widescreen versions (even/odd station #) of the HMI pages as load page from Action On Data does not provide any possibility for variable passing, only Action on Click.
If possible in the future, I'd like to be able to pass a string variable as the page reference, so I could then use a single UDT to drive this.
