Yes, correct. (FWIW: A single gui_group value, not a set.)
Thanks a lot for getting back to my question. I think you will be safe. Let me give your more details. The objective is to clean up the situation that you correctly describe as promptgroups being "assigned somewhat arbitrarily". There is *no* intention to change the syntax of the record field description. There will be a property "promptgroup" which takes a "gui_group" value. The tags will match "GUI_*", and every dct configurable field will have a promptgroup property. However, the set of allowed gui_group values, i.e. the "GUI_*" tags, would change, and the fields' assignments would be re-done in a reasonable way, to the new groups. You can check the LaunchPad bug [1] that tracks this issue for even more details. Please also add comments there if you want. I will be able to send you a "new" base.dbd file for testing as soon as things are getting stable. Cheers, ~Ralph [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1553192 |
