Disable Updates when editing a field
-
I will try to explain this as an example
Lets say a device is publishing updates live at some frequency, or when the value changes, to a number field. This field is also a setpoint, so the user can make changes. If you trying to change the value, and an updates is published from the device. It closes the user input.
It might be an idea to disable field UI updates while editing the field. Could also notify user that the field has changed in the background.

@tgpa123 I will need to check this. If I understand correctly you would like a number field to be both indicator and control?
I think this could potentially lead to usability issues due to not conveying clear meaning to the user... Is it a control or an indicator?

Its not a critical thing, and there is ways to get around it. I just have setpoints that can be modified both at the device and via Bluetooth. I push change back to GUI-O app when the setpoint at the device changes. If you are changing settings on the app, it closes the window. This is just to keep setpoints/configuration up to date in the app.
At the end of the day its a minor inconvenience and something that would rarely happen, but can. Not some much as a wish, as an idea..

@tgpa123 I understand.
In my opinion, this is not a very transparent user feature - updating field from another source, while user is typing in the same field.
I will put this on hold for now. If there should be a need for this feature in the future, I will consider it again.
