I created a transaction group to write in tags from the database, through a pop up window i want to modify the data in the database using a numeric text field but everytime i try to edit the data they update themselves and overwrite the changes i try to make, i already deactivated the polling mode and activated the defer updates mode of the numeric text field. Thanks.

Don’t use a transaction group for such UI activity. Read the relevant DB items with a non-polling query, and write back to the DB with an actionPerformed script (save button, etc). Tags fed from a transaction group will be refreshed from the DB at the group’s interval, and those tags’ bindings will see “new data” even if unchanged.
