Hello,
I am sure that this is all currently working exactly as expected, though that being said- we may look to improve on this in the future if it does not seem the most efficient for people to use.
I will attempt to explain in more detail below why it is like this (see the following video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ni9mEW ... sp=sharing)
As you can see, I have a Curve FX which controls the Dimmer of all heads, and the Iris of only the outer 4 fixtures. In most Daslight 5 effect engines (Curve, Value, Chaser and Mappings), they are fully customisable like this where you can select specific features to be used for specific fixtures, and customise the min/max range of the effect for each feature.
The issue arises when I add a new fixture into the selection because I still only want the outer 4 fixtures to respond to the Iris control. If the scene were to update the features automatically, then what would actually happen is the new fixture would automatically be updated to include the Iris and Dimmer control, which is not what I would want.
So to set this up, I have to delete and re-add the features to the effect whilst selecting the fixtures I actually want the effect to control (you will see I select all fixtures and add the 'Dimmer' feature, then only the outer 4 fixtures when I add the 'Iris' feature).
Perhaps the most reasonable solution to this would be to automatically update the effect when it is initially controlling ALL beams (i.e. in this case, we have 5 beams all with the 'Dimmer' feature being used), but not automatically update the effect when a feature is initially controlling only SELECTED beams (i.e. in this case, we have only 4/5 beams with the 'Iris' feature being used). I will feed this back to the developers to consider, but there may be some issues with this that I have not considered.
Kind regards,
Will
