Can't open online view of FB instance from code editor, only from Device/POU windows

    Hello,

    The title pretty much says it all. When trying to open a FB from the CFC/Ladder/SFC editors while online, the FB does not open in an online view of that specific instance. Instead, it opens an offline view with '???' shown for the value of any variable. This makes debugging extremely cumbersome, as I have to find each FB in the POU window and select the specific instance I am trying to view. Anyone know the cause/solution for this? Thanks.

    Good morning,

    Yes, this is a known bug that has been reported. For now, the only workaround is to open the function block instances from the device tree.

    Regards,
