Do-More designer data read button

[Henryp]

How hard would it be to add a data read button to the Do-More designer. 

Went I'm testing new communication links I normally open a data window and select edit, then type in a copy of the status numbers into the edits column.  When the communication happens I can quickly see if the data is correct or has changed.  We are currently moving 50 sites from a DL PLC acting as a data collector to a Do-More and a data read button would save me a lot of time.

So what you want is a "Copy current value to the Edit column" command?

Wow, "copy current values to Edit column" and a save memory values to .csv button would have saved me tons of time at my last job doing documentation!

Copy current to edit makes great sense, and wouldn't be hard.

[Henryp]

Yes the current values to the edit column, then when communication occurs I can see what if anything changed.

That would be a handy button.
It would be *nice* if we could select the rows that we want to copy, and then click the button, versus clicking a button and copying ALL the rows.

We can make this work just like the "SINGLE" WRITE button.  If you select a group of 3 rows, then those 3 rows will be "written" when you hit the SINGLE WRITE button (vs. Write All).  So this feature would behave similarly.

Perfect! (I use the 'multiple select'/'single write' feature often).
