<div class="markdown_content"><p>Thanks for the info! VAR_IN_OUT_AS_POINTER worked as documented for me. I'll fall back to the other suggestions if that falls apart. Thank you!</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>The official answer is to use the VAR_IN_OUT_AS_POINTER attribute a described in the help. I sometimes have trouble getting this to work and instead pass in parameters as 'POINTER TO' or 'REFERENCE TO' data types.</p> <p><a href="https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_visu_pragma_var_in_out_as_pointer;product=core_visualization;version=3.5.17.0" rel="nofollow">https://help.codesys.com/webapp/_visu_pragma_var_in_out_as_pointer;product=core_visualization;version=3.5.17.0</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>It seems that text fields link the text variables utilized in a pop-up display the value that was present when the pop-up was loaded but do not update as the value changes. Is it possible for the text field in a popup to stay current?</p></div>
