All values in the Parameters table are grayed out and cannot be changed

[juda_kaleta]

All my parameters are grayed out and cannot be changed. After a while of googling, I haven't found a solution. I have restored the default settings of Fusion, but nothing has changed. The issue is both for all my existing projects and newly created ones.

Do you have any idea what's wrong?

It's annoying because I always have to delete a parameter and create a new one to change the value. I don't want to use "Configured" for all of them.

Hi @juda_kaleta , Thanks for reaching out.

The parameters are grayed out as you have opened the Parameter table when you are in "Configuration Mode". In Configuration Mode, the Parameters table allow you to select parameters you want to configure and restricts creation and editing of parameters.

To edit your parameters, exit the Configuration Mode by clicking the checkmark (see highlighted in image below)

Please reach out if you face any issues.

Thank You.

Hi, I'm still having trouble editing my parameter even after disabling configuration mode.

The parameter is still grey out and clicking/double clicking does nothing.

Help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Yeah, I think this is broken also.  When you click the Parameters button on the CONFIGURATION TABLE dialog, it tells you it's going to put you in Configuration mode:

It does that, then you can see the table with checkboxes showing, but it's not possible to check them.  Exiting Configuration mode (as suggested above) changes the appearance of the checkboxes to just be static checks (or blank for those unselected) but doesn't help or accomplish anything.

I was able to add some parameters the other way (by selecting feature properties) but I can't, for example, add the parameters that drive expressions within those features.  This worked recently, so something broke it recently too.  Bummer.

Whoa!  I think I just figured this out.  It's a LAYOUT problem.  I was able to successfully click to select/deselect in the PARAMETERS dialog.

The trick is this: you must click in the (lateral) center of the "Configured" column, NOT on the checkbox (which is drawn left-justified).  How a controls display and hit box get out of sync I do not know, but now I've got my parameters in and can keep making progress!!

Thank you!! I was stumped as to why I couldnt press the checkboxes.

Thank you! You just solved my headache!

Yup I had this on MacOS also this morning and have never seen it happen before. Had me totally confused till I saw this.  Pretty poor engineering and not the quality expected unfortunately.

@karina.harper you've been super helpful on another thread.  This is another small(ish) bug that creates large pain.  The graphical representation of the checkbox does not respond to clicking when adding Parameters.  You have to click in a graphically-empty location near the column center to check/uncheck the box.  I just happened to stumble on it in a moment of frustration but it's easily reproducible both on Windows (as in my video here) and apparently in MacOS as well (as mentioned in the comment above).  Apologies for the tag, just want to get this on the list to get fixed.

Hi @mikahb 

The video you just posted is a known issue with Dark Mode. If you switch back to the light mode/legacy UI it should work. We have a fix for this coming out very soon. 

As for the 'left-justified' behavior you saw in February, were you using the "new UI preview" with light mode at the time? Or did you see this behavior without that on? Are you still able to reproduce that? (For me, in legacy UI the checkbox stays centered and clickable).

I also have to mention, sadly @shubham_ghorpade passed away last year. I know that he would have been sharing this feedback if he was still with us.

So I am in light mode with 

Fusion 2601.0.90 arm64 [Native]
macOS 15.3.2 (24D81) on Macmini9,1

In Preview Features I now turned off "Updated Styling" and "Enable UI Themes", and without closing the project that had the error I tried to configure again, and it worked fine for selecting the checkboxes.  So I tried a new file that did not have configuration set, and that worked fine.  So I rebooted Fusion and it worked fine. So I turned both those back on and it still worked fine.

On that basis I could not determine whether those two features had the desired effect or not, as the issue is no longer happening. The next time it happens I'll not everything for a diagnoses.

Thank you for posting the fix to this. This wasn't happening last time I made a configured design!
