Hi again!
I learn from wiki, DeepSOIC, Salp etc. on building formula expression in spreadsheet and object input field.
I put a formula expression in a Mirror field e.g. disposition and the result get updated when the underlying variable changes - that's fine.
(see Position - x in screenshot below)
However, when I saved, closed and re-open the file, the formula in the field disappeared / got 'resolved' in a result.
(see 2nd screenshot and FCStd)
Is it a bug or a feature? or there any 'workaround' to permanently keep the formula? Or only a problem in Mirror object?
(I have found similar issue happened in Base x,y,z field, but not tested on other objects...)

Re: Bug on Formula Expression or MIrror Input Field?
You have an error in your spreadsheet; see A31 and A32 (A32 references itself). I think this causes a failure when reading the objects back. I'd consider this a bug, so it would be nice if you could create a bug report (with you example) for it.paullee wrote:Hi again!

I find if i remove the ERR in the spreadsheet (just lazy to clean up those lines which do not works earlier), the Formula in the Mirror Object would not disappear when re-opening the file!
(Just 'strange' as the Formula Expression in the Mirror Object is not referencing anything in the spreadsheet which has ERR.....)

This is what I think is a bug, so it would be nice if you could report it. Then it will not be forgotten, and we will fix it eventually.paullee wrote:(Just 'strange' as the Formula Expression in the Mirror Object is not referencing anything in the spreadsheet which has ERR.....)

OK! I am creating an bug tracker account and checking Yorik's guideline on bug reporting.
