Perform Mode - Text Editor - Lock Unlock

Bugs
1

Hello! encountered some unexpected behavior. I’ve tried a couple things to try to fix it in case that I have an incorrect setting for my UI in perform mode. Please check out my .toe and let me know if it’s user error! otherwise, here’s a summary of what I’ve found:

Windows 11 Pro
Version: 2025.32820

Network use description

  • pull live data with a webclient dat
  • have the ability to edit the data in perform mode by locking a text dat and then keying in manually

I have locked the test webclient dat so it’s reproduceable without an internet connection

Steps to reproduce

  1. open file, in Network Editor
  2. check toggle is (Enable Editing: Off)
  3. confirm text is not editable
  4. toggle (Enable Editing: On)
  5. confirm text is editable
  6. toggle (Enable Editing: Off)
  7. Enter Perform Mode
  8. toggle (Enable Editing: On)
  9. Unable to edit text

Expected behavior

  • Text edit toggle should be work in perform mode in the same way it is in network editor

Hi @RegularHappy

the way the Script CHOP is used is pretty unorthodox and utilizing the Parameter Execute DAT for this need, a much preferred and working method.
The Script CHOP doesn’t necessarily know that it is needed by anything (especially here it is being followed by nothing so the data goes stale) so in perform mode not cooking with the end result of the DAT not being locked.
The Script CHOP is there to create channels, not to react and control.

Hi @snaut

I see now! thanks for your help.

that makes sense that it wouldn’t cook
