Editing Labels in Operation Mode

You can edit a Static Label, such as one dragged from the Toolkit and given custom text, only in Design mode. In Operation mode and in the Web App, its text cannot be changed.

A Label can still be edited in Operation mode when its text comes from somewhere other than the Control Panel:

  • A Label mapped to a text parameter, such as a channel name.
  • A Label with Remote Enable turned on and a remote name set, so that its text can be set by a script or the Remote Control API. See Function.
