How to use PLC proxy data (TIA17) stored as PLC data type in some DB and use this in Unified faceplates?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split from PLC and HMI in different projects.

Hello, did you find a solution to this problem? 

I'm experiencing the same issue.

Now I'm using this method:

- in your PLC project, drag & drop the required data type from 'PLC data types' section to project library (Libraries->Project library->Types)

- you can now copy-paste data type from PLC project library to your Unified project library

And don't forget that every time you change data type in PLC project, you need to copy latest version of data type to Unified library and update proxy.

Hello I tried this and it was working.

But after a while, even to nothing has changed in the datatype it says versions are different and I have to do everything over again. Which is a struggle if I have to change 1 small thing, I sometimes have to do the entire procedure (update all my faceplates because they use the datatypes,....)

Next time try this, maybe it helps:
- right click on a library faceplate Update types-> Project
- put a tick in the checkbox 'Update instances in the project' + click OK
