Hi,

I might be missing something really simple here, but I can’t seem to get my alarm label to display correctly.

As you can see the label references ParentName and Name, and the instance has values for these, yet when the alarm label is evaluated, it is missing the ParentName:

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong here?

So I modified the text part (Fail To Stop) to something else and changed it back, and now the alarms are showing the label correctly. It seems like the alarm Label didn’t update when I added the second parameter.
