Milestone Collector data columns have the same value

jeremy_r — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 07:32:17 GMT

[ FlexSim 21.2.1 ]

In a Milestone Collector, when adding additional columns on the "Data" tab, all of the columns are required to have the exact same "Value". The "Name", "Update Mode", "Storage Type", and "Display Format" can freely vary—however, if I change the "Value" for any additional column, it is changed for all of the columns.

I am assuming this behaviour is a bug. If it is not, how are "additional columns" intended to be used?

I have attached a simple model that demonstrates this behaviour.
Milestone Collector model.fsm

For example, the "Value" field of all three columns is currently set to "Model.dateTime" (although each column lists a different Storage Type/Display Format). If I select "Column 1" and change the "Value" to "1", now the Value of "Column 2" and "Column 3" are also "1".

Hi @Jordan Johnson
Can you confirm that this bug is still in version 23.0.7?

This is a bug. Here is a similar question on the forum:
