Changing the Value Sets of Placeholder Objects from Segment Templates

In the past you could not make changes to the value sets of placeholder objects at the planning objects, if the corresponding macro with the placeholder objects originated from the assigned segment template. In this case the Macro tab of the planning object was grayed out and could not be changed.

In the new version you can now make changes for the value sets of the placeholder objects that originate from the segment templates.

Benefit:

The fact that you can now adjust the value sets of the placeholder objects from the segment templates at the planning objects reduces the number of required segment templates.

The macro name entered in the Macro field of this tab cannot be changed. This makes clear that the macro was stored at the segment template.

In this case, too, differences to the assigned segment template are highlighted by a yellow background color. As usual for the segment templates, manually changed values are retained during the transfer of the template, if a macro with corresponding placeholder objects is also assigned to this segment template.
