in Alarm management you can latch some variable to show value within the alarm msg. It´s very useful sometime.
But I´m wondering whether there is any possibility to represent that value as Text list. It´s quite common in other HMI tools and this is very useful in case of using some ErrorID for detail specification of error.
Unfortunately I could not find any way how to do it but I believe that exists :)
Thanks a lot.

I thing it´s a bit different. What I want is to have detail errors of technology in data type e.g. INT. This variable I would latch to the corresponding error msg but I would like to get it convert to text from the text list and not keep it in INT form.
Example.
Main error
Valve Error: SubErrors
1 - Both sensors
2 - Not retracted in time
3 - Not pulled out in time
In HMI
Main error + latch SubErrors => "Valve Error: Both sensors"
The benefit is that text lists are part of translation and can be easily manipulated. I know I can create whole string msg in PLC but then, it lose advantage of Alarm management.

Hi There,
For my understanding: are you trying to display the contents of a text list in an alarm message based on the id?
For example, you could maintain a text list of common alarm messages, and then display based on which message is true?
