Group names

[Gafferted]

Is there a way to stop previously entered group names reverting to gobbledegook when you merge in changes/add extra fixtures?

Hello,

Yes, Update the Group rather than Record over the top of it.

To do this make your changes to selection/intensity, tap UPDATE, and then tap the group (or use the syntax UPDATE GROUP x ENTER). The name will remain the same.

Hope this helps,

Edward

Thanks Edward - so what is the difference between updating a group and recording over it using the Merge option?

In future software releases it might help if they were the same?

Hi Ted,

The best way of looking at it is whenever you use RECORD (for anything), you are creating something completely new, whereas UPDATE is used to edit something existing.

RECORD -> Merge, will give the same outcome as updating, however it is newly stored, thus a new auto name is given, whereas update is simply editing what is existing.

Hope this helps, 

Edward
