Hi,
In Microstation Connect Update 10, I am placing cells with "Enter Data Fields" in them. When I enter information into an empty "Enter Data Field", it turns white. When I edit an existing filled "Enter Data Field", it turns white. When I place a text with an "enter data field", it shows properly. When I edit that text (edit single enter data field tool), the part of the text with the data field turns white.
This does not happen in Mstn V8i SS3.
Is there a setting that I am missing, or is this a bug?
--Thanks,--Robert Arnold
Hi Robert,
This issue has been fixed and will be available in upcoming release.
Thanks,

Abhay,
I noticed the above issue of EDF turning white. You mentioned the fix being available in upcoming release. I am using Update 13 (Version 10.13.01.01). This is the latest version at the Bentley site. Is the resolution of the issue in the next update?
Thanks.
Please cancel my subscription as I have retired.

Hi Abhay/Robert,
Sorry I couldn't send the dgn file earlier. I was busy on a project. Anyway, I am attaching a DGN file Dilip.dgn. It has a cell called "R1". This cell has a nested cell called "LOC", which is comprised of just an EDF on level 16 with color=3 (Red). I copied this cell (R1) and edited the EDF for LOC cell. Notice the the EDF text "(XYZ)" turned white. I also just inserted the cell "LOC" and copied it and then edited the EDF, Notice this time it didn't turn white. Looks like this only happens to nested cell with EDF.

So far, I have not had any issues with Mstn CE U14. I will let you know if I do find anything.
Dilip, Have you tried the new Microstation update?
--Thanks,--Robert
After doing the latest MicroStation Connect update (Update 16) we have started having this issue with EnterDataFills that are not white in our Plan Title block cells turning white after text is put in them using the Fill In Single Data Field tool. However if the Edit Text tool is used and the underscores double clicked in the Text Editor, then the text will stay the original colour. Seems like something was changed in the recent update.
I'd file a service ticket and send Bentley the drawing (or a sample bit of the drawing).
Regressions are all too common, and the only way Bentley finds them is when we report them. They may get fixed, down the line. If this is a critical part of what you do, I would suggest going back to an earlier version that did work correctly.

Hi Matthew,
Instead of fixing Microstation, you now have to add a configuration variable to get it to work correctly:
_USTN_RESET_EDF_COLOR_TO_MATCH_ADJOINING_TEXT=true
I am trying to withhold my negative comments about breaking Microstation, and then have then standard users add a configuration variable because Bentley changed something for a different user's condition. The base functionality show be consistent and the change for the user should be done with the configuration variable.
