Web Configurator Hard Buttons Not Saving

[AryasDad]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Description

When I go to an Activity and change the command associated with a hard button, it does not get saved to the remote. I have tried resetting the button and re-adding a command instead of just changing it and the same thing happens.

In order to force a save I have to remove a soft button and recreate it, then any changes to hard buttons get saved. This is confirmed by the little pop-up message saying changes have been saved.

Note, the pop-up doesn't occur when editing the hard buttons.

How to Reproduce

1. Go to Web Configurator
2. Go to Activities & macros
3. Click on existing Activity
4. Click on Edit user interface
5. Edit command for hard button
6. Nothing gets saved to remote

Expected behavior

Every change to a hard button gets saved just like any edit to the soft buttons.

System version

v1.5.2

What part of the system affected by the problem?

Web Configurator

@AryasDad I assume you are referring to the following button configuration, correct?

Are there any red error popups at the bottom when assigning a command to the button? A successful command assignment to a button will not show a confirmation popup.

Another thing to check for are "dangling entities" in the activities. These are included entities which were removed, but are still referenced in the activity. They have a 🚫 icon on the main activity page:

If there's such an entity, the activity cannot be edited and an error popup should appear.

Sorry for the delayed response. Just found the notification of your reply in my inbox.

Yes, I am referring to that button configuration. I get no errors (i.e. red alerts) when I change a command. The change does no propagate to the remote.

I haven't checked recently if it still occurs, but it happened to me a few times when tweaking my remote setup. I would change a command associated with a physical button and the remote would not use the new command. I only got the changes to propagate when I did some edited of the screen buttons, as well. I.e. adding or removing image/text buttons to the screen layout.
