In ignito perspective there is no ‘are you sure’ popup as there is on the one shot button? Is there something I am missing or do you have to create your own pop up? It was available on ignition vision

Hi Philip, I wrote up a ticket for us to take a look at adding this functionality to the Perspective version of the Multi-State Button. Seeing as similar components across Vision and Perspective have this property to enable a confirmation popup, it appears to be an oversight on our part. We will up…

Oy! I hope not. Confirmation popups are an anti-pattern. See this recent discussion (among many): [image] Create Text Confirmation Instead of Click Confirmation Ignition You are battling human nature. You will lose. Consider not using a popup, instead using a time-lim…

Can you give an example of a "Command Mode" control or something similar on what you are referring to? I like the though process around having things to be more intuitive and a smoother flow, but what if we have an emergency button that would stop the process fully, and wanted to protect it from ac…

Yes you are right, bad example, shouldn't have said the word "emergency" to something that is critical to the safety of others. To my above question, a more practical case of something that may need someone to not accidently press something in general.

Have a command mode button that toggles a custom property bool. Then in your scripts that should only work in command mode, check the custom prop bool to make sure it is true. Otherwise, you are in "read-only" mode. def runAction(self, event): if self.view.custom.commandMode: # do writes else…

Yep, that makes more sense, use the property in an expression to enable/disable the protected buttons :+1:
