Issue w/ Widgets - 'Collapsible Containers'

Blue Robotics Software

Hello,

I was hoping to make use of the input widgets especially the sliders. But unfortunately, when I create a collapsible container and try to add more than 3 sliders the widget fails. As in it wont let me make edits to the 3rd or more sliders that I add.

I have tried making additional collapsible containers and fill those but it only seems to make a copy of the already existing container and whatever I do to one it does to the second. I made sure that I wasn’t just copying the already existing container and using the “add additional container” feature.

Hi @DuncanODL!

We have received other reports about this problem and we are prioritizing solving it. You can expect a fix in the next week or two.

The original issue was raised here, if you want to track discussions/progress towards fixing it :slight_smile:

Hi Rafael, I took a look at the progress tracker and looks like it hasn’t quite been resolved yet.

Although, I’ve noticed I am now able to include more sliders to the container than before but still cannot make additional containers.

Cheers,

Duncan

Hi @DuncanODL,

I just did some investigating, and ended up managing to find and fix the problem. I’ll try to get the fix merged in time for the imminent v1.17 stable release :slight_smile:

With my new and improved understanding of the bug, it’s only new containers that are linked to each other (created within a session), so as an (admittedly awkward and somewhat annoying) workaround, you should be able to create one container, (optionally add some widgets), then refresh the Cockpit window (or close and open it) before you create the next container, which should then be independent of any containers that came before it.

The number of mini-widgets you can add won’t have changed, although it’s possible you have managed to add more now by changing where you dragged them when trying to place them.
