Observing and forcing variable values in actions not possible (corrected from V3.26)

?Corrected from:
PLC Designer V3.26

Response of the new version:
In online mode, the values of variables in actions are displayed correctly.

What happens?
In online mode, it is not possible to observe or force variable values. Instead of a variable value, question marks or no value at all are displayed.
 
When does the behaviour occur?
The behaviour only occurs in actions that have been programmed with a graphic editor (e.g. FBD editor) and are attached to a function module.
 
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer from V3.24
Application Template


Short-term measures:
Drag the variables into a watch list (menu command 'View' > 'Watch' > 'Watch List x'). In the watch list, the variable values can be observed and forced.
 
Evaluation / recommendations:
This function restriction makes diagnosis and troubleshooting in the PLC Designer project much more difficult. The Application Template is particularly affected by this restriction, as all machine modules were programmed as function blocks with actions.
