Function extension: The options for the programming language editor for Sequential Function Chart (SFC) (menu 'Tools>Options') have been extended:
- Embedded objects > 'Show action and transition objects in the navigator' checkbox
A double-click on a step creates an embedded action. If the 'Show action and transition objects in the navigator' checkbox is active, the embedded action will be displayed below the block in the device tree. - Step actions > Default insertion method
When creating an embedded action (= step action), a dialog appears in which you can select the duplication mode. If the step is copied, depending on the selected duplication mode, either the reference will be copied to the action or the action will be newly created in the action objects. This setting can be changed in the options for the SFC editor under 'Step actions > Default insertion method'.

Application:
Some steps only require one action. For a clear step chain, actions can be embedded in a step. I.e. in this case, the action no longer has to be associated.
