Resetting trace field value
When using trace fields to collect operator input in the beginning of routines I feel like we are missing some functionality.
I would like the option to reset trace field values when a routine is started. Today trace fields will remember the last entered value and display it when running a program. This gives operators the option to start the program without updating input values.
For example: I have a part with serial number requirements. When running the first part the operator will enter “S/N 1”. When running the second part the trace field will remember and display this value. If the operator isn’t paying attention they have the ability to start the program without updating the value.
Having the option to reset trace field values and using the “mandatory” setting would stop this mistake from happening and force operators to update values on every run.
That said having trace fields remember the last entered value is also important so I would like the option to choose if values are remembered or not.
