Reply To: Matrix Macros

[Philippe]

Hi,
I don’t want to say that the problem is in your macro, but I need to see how you connect things to make it work. And by giving me the whole macro from the beginning, you’re saving us time, because I don’t have to ask you a lot of questions… -)

In this case, I see that you’ve changed the name displayed in the dial or button, but you haven’t changed the name of the corresponding CaseBranch. This may not be clear in the provided templates, in which case I’ll have to add some documentation in them, but the method is that the button or dial transmits its name to the macro, which first looks if this name corresponds to a CaseBranch, and them the action of that CaseBranch is made.

Intuitively, you probably thought we’d base it on the number of the button or dial, but at some point it seemed better to me to base it on the name. That way, when you edit your macro, you easily know which UI the CaseBranch corresponds to. I think it makes sense.

I don’t think the errors displayed in the console are that serious.
I will have to check, and fix the issue if it is needed or hide the errors if they’re not necessary.

Below, the simplified macro with the corrections.
I hope I’ve answered correctly and I haven’t missed the issue you reported.
