Help Document

Diagnosis

You are editing an input/output field (template) or a field text (key word) and want either to assign a field name or change the existing one.
However, a graphical element (pushbutton, box, checkbox, radio button) already has this name.

System Response

The system identifies elements by the field names. Elements of the same name belong together. Only the following element pairs can have the same name:

  • an input/output field and a field text
  • a radio button and its field text
  • a checkbox and its field text

Therefore, the system rejects the new name.

Procedure

Use another unique name.
If you want to assign a text field to a checkbox or radio button which previously had no field text, you must first use the Cancel graphic function to reconvert the checkbox or radio button to an input/output field and then, together with the field text of the same name, convert this once more to a graphical element.
