Hello everyone,

When I insert two or more text fields on a screen and group them together then it has strange behaviour when I edit these texts. When one of the texts is editted it creates a new text line in a texts tab filled with original text before editting. It has reference Group_1\Text which cannot be found in a group property list. You must click out of group and then back on this group to see this new line in Texts tab.

It makes quite big mess project texts when translating multilingual texts. Worst is that if I try to clear this new text it delete also text from one of a text fields. This happens also when texts are imported from a file.

I found that this new text disappear if I ungroup and group objects again but I cannot regroup everything after every edit or translation.

I tested it in TIA winCC advanced V14 and V14 SP1 with Comfort or Basic panel (2nd generation) with same result. 

Is it normal behaviour or I do something wrong?

Hello User,

It's a normal behaviour.

Hello

It's hard to show it in one picture so I put several screenshots in one.

First are two separate texts "Source1" and "Source2" selected with mouse together. Everything OK

Then I grouped them together and edited text "Source1" to "Edit1" (in Texts tab) and then happen a maxic when you click out of group and then select group again. Third line appears.

In last step I deleted new text which contained original text "Source1" and it deleted also both texts so all three texts was cleared! It is probably linked somehow internally.

I don't think it is normal
