Renaming variable Epic PR1 Groov view issue

[jelectron]

Hi,
Due to a mistake I had to rename a integer variable running in PAC control strategy in a EPIC PR-1, after doing so, I re updated the control startegy in the groov build mode, the renamed variable changed in the gadget switch automatically with the new name as default label, I verified the tag and it was the new renamed variable, but after saving and switching to Groov view, got an error saying “the tag name “x-old” is not available” and the label it showed was the old variable that build mode just shows as the new one already selected in Groov build mode. I verified this 3 times in 2 different EPIC both latest firmware and up to date software. The solution is to delete the gadget and re do it.

It check box still shows the value of the presistent variable before it was renamed (checked) even though the it is 0 in PAC Control. Clicking the check box does not change the persistent variable in PAC Control. Reproduce like this: In PAC Control, create a persistent variable integer called “test” Save the…

No, a regular integer…Easy to test and replicate, simple dummy var and create a swith to set to 1 or 0, then rename pac control var and see what happens in Groov build and then groov view.

This is a known issue, and was addressed in groov View 4.2c, which will be included in the next GRV-EPIC-PR1 release.

You can work around it by restarting the EPIC, or doing something to kick the tag cache over, like adding and then removing a dummy Data Store device.
