Display and Editing of Placeholder Objects in the Macro Navigator

The placeholder objects are now also shown in the macro navigator.

Benefit:

You can identify and edit the placeholder objects in the macros more easily through the display of the placeholder objects in the macro navigator.

The placeholder objects available in a macro are displayed below the hierarchy level of the respective macro variant ( icon) in the tree of the macro navigator. Value sets for the placeholder objects can be selected from the popup menu and their properties edited.

To this purpose the popup menu in the tree was extended by the menu items for placeholder objects (Assign value set and Select associated objects). Depending on the selected object - macro or placeholder object - the respective menu items are then active.

Note:

Only one object at a time can be edited in the list of a navigator. For this reason placeholder objects are not available in the list view of the macro navigator.

Moved menu item for placeholder object navigator

To make the correlation between the placeholder object navigator and the project options more clear, the menu item Placeholder objects has been moved and is now located below the menu path Project data > Project options.
