How to change the DPT name?

Post by jjang@gtd.eu »

How can I change the DPT name?

I mean, when I execute UserInterface (vision) change the name of a DPT and save this change to PARA.

dpChange() is used only for Gedi mode, but not for vision.

Thank you,

Junho

You have to differ between a
Datapoint type DPT
Datapoint DP
Datapoint element DPE

You cannot rename a datapoint type (DPT).

Can you please describe what you want to do.

Ohh I se... I wanted to change the datapoint type name... DPT.

Then, the only solution is to eliminate the dpt and creat a new dpt with new name?

Thank you as allways,

If the name of the DPT shall be changed you have to delete and re create it.
Please take into account that all historical data will be lost for the datapoints which are existing for the "old" DPT even if you create them with the same name again.
