It shows up just when user clicks more times on faceplate (2-3 times). I contacted Siemens technical support and they are working on it to find solution, but still they do not know why is this happening.

But i am not sure about that. Does it work when you try to read that variable and delay the opening of the faceplate by some time?

I am not sure about popups, but it's worth a try. The new function Faceplate.Parent can be used. Then you should have access to the container. .Name should give the Name. Let us know if it works!
