Cory,

Per the documentation:

name =3D name is a list of the action names to be protected. This list
contains no spaces. Names are separated by commas. If specifying action
names starting with a "." (for example, .OUT), all action names ending
with this string are affected. For example:

protect name .OUT

protects all action names ending with .OUT. This allows the generic name
.OUT to apply to all output active areas, including both those on Block
Detail Displays and preconfigured Group Displays.


The key here is that this command protects named actions in a display.
It does not protect changes to a CBP.

You can read about actions in the FV/FD documentation.

Subject: [foxboro] "protect name .PARM" DM/FV command

Simple version: has anyone ever gotten this to work?

Longer version: I came across this while looking for something else in
the =

docs, and thought, how could I not have seen this before?  It would
solve, =

or at least mitigate, a great deal of issues for me (e.g., all those =

parameters that are settable but not connectable, and we don't want
people =

to be able to set them).


So I tried the following: pref -DMNAME DMCMD "protect name .HLGP" and =

called up a detail display.  Unfortunately, it still happily let me
change =

the hi/lo alarm destination.  I then did pref -DMNAME DMCMD "protect
all", =

and it no longer let me select it, so my pref was working.


Am I doing something wrong?  Or is this going to be a "new feature" in =

Foxview 12?
