1. Improvement is great and i understand this is an evolving software; with that said, if it can't be updated in the documentation then there should at least be a tool tip to give a breif explination. 2. & 3. I understand how the development process can be limiting, that is my life right now. but you are talking about a solution that really we should be moving away from. Stacking different objects to accomplish the function that one object should have natively is how we address lacking features in much older software suits. 4. So here is my problem with words like "Modifiers" and "Custom" with a peice of software that is advertised as a 'WYSIWYG". That is not intuitive and certainly should not be used pretty much from the start to accomplish what really should be basic task. If i wanted to rely on custom scripts i would litterally have alrady developed my UI in HTML5 ages ago. And it's not just WebIQ, I am looking a few other HMI development suits for various other applications and the common theme I keep seeing is that everyone is over complicating what should be a simple thing: software to develop objects that interact with external data sources. There is already an implmentation of Node-Red for higher level Java scripting and widget development and the two appear to interface rather well at this point. This is one place where I have alwasy felt FTvStudio ME has excelled, buttons have a Command and a indicator; they can be the same tag or a different tag, Labels can easily be tags or plain text, and you can do some expression editing on the object but you don't need to if you rely on the PLC do it. I don't beleive that HMI UI objects should be doing any logic what so ever and I certainly don't think there should be much, if any, custom scripting. I guess by expecting less I am expecting too much. The other issues I see with relying on work arounds like stacking objects is first, knowing when that is the only solution; we then have to try multiple things everytime we come to a similar problem with different objects\widgets or trudge out to the forum and search for the problem, fail to find a topic, have to start a new topic, and get sucked into a conversation about it. And then, when features are updated and functonality does finally get implamented, knowing what objects need changed, when to change them, and investing teh time to redevelop. I just thought this was more polished at this point I guess.
