When working with the widget, I noticed the following problems in the runtime of the widget:

  1. Create a new recipe set, by pressing "Add" button, enter its name.
    To enable the buttons Edit, Delete,... I must additionally select the new created item in widget "Recipe Controller"

=> The buttons must be activated automatically when the recipe is created.

  1. if a recipe is edited and then saved, the recipe values are no longer displayed. To display the values again, I must additionally select the saved item in widget "Recipe Controller"

=> values must be visible, after saving a recipe

  1. recipe content is difficult to read because it is grayed out. This is a problem on a real machine because users who do not have editing rights also have to read the recipe content.

  2. tree view. Expanding sub-elements does NOT work for a single branch. Only for all branches.

=> Expand must work for single branch

  1. tree view: The elements for all expanding/collapsing should always be accessible regardless of the scroll position, e.g. by positioning them in the header instead of in the scroll area.

  2. Expanding/collapsing must be accessible when not in edit mode, otherwise user without edit rights cannot view all values.

  3. tree view: The name of the branch is cut off although there is still plenty of space.

Thank you for your feedback. I have classified these as follows:
1. Feature Request: a newly created recipe should be selected automatically
2. Feature Request: after editing a recipe the values should still be shown as if reselected manually after edit
3. Info: Widget locking is indicated in all widgets by changing the style ("graying out"). Can be easily changed for an application by using custom CSS. Changing the styling for locking only here might confuse the user as it would not be consistent.
4. Question: I don't understand the issue. In the provided HMI I can click on the first arrow to expand it and I can click on the second arrow to expand it - where does it not work?
5. Feature Request: the expand/collapse buttons in tree view should not scroll together with the list
6. Question: I can expand/collapse single entries when not in edit mode - where does it not work?
7. Bug: the name of the tree branch is cut off and does not use all available horizontal space (WEBIQ-4933)

I have added the feature requests as a research ticket in our system (WEBIQ-4934)
