TIA Portal Faceplate Textlist Problem

I'm currently working on a project using TIA Portal WinCC v11.

I'm having a problem on the faceplate instances. I've successfully configured a faceplate type which includes text list (for text change/dynamic). I'm testing my faceplate type configuration by creating some instance of it with test buttons/fields which is connected to an internal tag, which is then tagged to the faceplate instances through the instance interface.

I created two sets of buttons/field for two instances (call it Set A & Set B). When I tick button A for a color change in FP instance A, the color changes in FP instance A (good). When I tick the button B for a color change in FP instance B, the color changes in FP instance B (good). So here (color change), each FP instances responds to their respective tags, thus, the FP instances are working fine. But this is until I test the button (tag) for a text change (text list).

The problem is, when I tick button A or change a IO field A value for a text change in FP instance A, the text changes on both FP instance A & B! What's peculiar is, the tag I change by ticking the button or changing a IO field value has an animation of changing a text as well as a color (both are range/analog animation), and here, the color is good (only FP instance A changes color) but the text is bad (both instance A & B changed text)!And when I tick the button B or change the IO field B value for the text change of FP instance B, it does not respond, meaning, only the button A has the control over text change for FP instance A & B, though the same tag for color change is working fine on both FP instances.And this is the problem for every instance I create, the text of every instance changes when one (and only this one) tag of a particular instance is changed, and the (supposed to be) tag for the text change of each respective FP instances (other that this one) has totally lost their control/connection over it.

Surely there's no conflict on tagging, for the color of the same tag successfully responds (it does not control other colors), only on the text or textlist. What I notice is that, the last tag I connect to an FP instance text change will be the one who will control all the text change of all FP instances. It seems that the last tag connected directly to the faceplate type, thus ignore the connection on every instance through their interface.

Please help me, for this project is needed to be done as soon.

Thanks much!

I'm working on a WinCC Advance, V11, SP2, Update5.

I've already deleted the IM folder, but the problem is I can't figure out how to configure and load the Download to Device/Software (all)/Extended download to device. It demands a "Type of the PG/PC interface such as Teleservice, USB, Com, HTTP, Ethernet and File though I'm just working on a single PC (ES/OS in PCS7 terminology). The problem is, the RT is not running since it seems the deletion of the IM have generated a connection error which will just be restablished by the Extended download to device.Fortunately, I've saved the project before I do it.

Nonetheless, what interface should I choose? How do I Load it?

Thanks much!

I've already sent this problem as a Support Request, and I've already received an answer.

Unfortunately, the problem is in the software. It is a bug, which will be fixed upon the release of another version (V12) on Jan 2013.

The support suggest that I replace textlists by Symbolic IO Field, this works, it does not have the problem I encounter with the textlist inside faceplate type. But unfortunately, it seems unable to appropriately stand as a textlist, for it seems to have no text orientation, which is a must for a text change.

Anyways, thanks for all the responses! It is much appreciated!

So worst case, I have just put the textlist outside the faceplate, which means manual configuration and tagging.
