Can Binary Objects have pre-populated field for Active Text and Inactive Text?

[David_Purser]

When drag Binary objects to Config folder/wiresheet and set Should Poll = True, the Binary object on the wiresheet shows that Present Value is <Blank>. The Active Text and Inactive Text are <Blank> and need to be filled in.

Can these at least be pre-populated with Active and Inactive, and one can come back and change later?

I don't think it matters what is on the Config sheet as long as it is not <Blank> to show state. It does matter for the Objects learned in the points folder, which will be defined by facets.

David,

Curious if it was only for the Binary Input.    I had gotten blank for Binary Inputs, but

Inactive/Active pre-populated for Binary Outputs, Binary Values, and Binary Consumer

right on the get-go.

As a side note, i changed the Schneider Template blocks by accident a few days ago,

so mine's no longer the default...it's ON/OFF whenever i bring a block in (which i'm more

than ok with the accident!), except for BI.  That block is definitely not working right for

active/inactive text displays no matter what i put.

David and Jim,

When binary objects are created, the Inactive/Active text values are blank by default to be consistent with EBO and I think this is the best approach.  That said, the Present_Value property should be displayed with some value (0/1, inactive/active, Off/On) so I'll log this issue with Tridium.
