update existing operation model from setup pages

[lawrencek]

I have a model (PATH) where I use the setup pages definitions - such as startdepth etc.
I want to update the model using new settings in setup, but it dies not change them. It seems to work for new operations, but why cannot I update the old ones?

it's for "setup" - when you create an operation. If you want to change an existing operation you'll have to edit that operation's properties directly.

[lawrencek]

yes thats what I find. But if you want to do some changes to anexisting model it would be useful to do that. After all is that not what parameterised means? Can this feature be added?

If the values are controlled by Expressions they should update.

I think automatic updating of all parameters could be dangerous. I sometimes have multiple operations in the same Job, with some operations having a different start depth.

If this automation could be controlled it might be OK. For example, "Do you want to update existing operations? (Y/N)"

Otherwise I would not want that sort of automation.
