Cannot change parameter in Drive Composer Pro
Hallo guys.
I have to prepare some parameters set for 6 different ACS880 drives and at the moment I have only a data set from one drive to use as a Template. Parameters between drives are not exactly the same. In existing set I have P. 35.11 (Motor Thermal Protection . Temperature 1 Source) with Value PTC DI6. Problem is - I cannot change its value. But I can change next 2 parameters 12 and 13 without problem. Also "Reset to default" option is doing absolutely nothing.

But ... I have found some old parameters file from another project ... somehow it is possible to change its value without any issues:

I have already updated to Drive Composer Pro 2.5 - it is still the same ... or maybe even worse: "Reset to default" option is grayed out. If this function would be working, then it will be the help to me ... but now in this project I cannot change a parameter value to default ... but can do this for some old project. Compared both projects and couldn't find any difference where "Enable/Disable editing some parameters" might be sitting.
Easiest way would be connect to the new drive and get the default parameters from the drive ... but the problem is - I will have access to the drives in 2 weeks only ... till then I need to prepare the parameter sets.
Any help from your would be much appreciated.
Thanx a million in advance!
Kind regards,
Alexey

Installing older version Drive Composer v.1.6 has helped to change the parameter 35.11 ... but after saving the Dataset and re-opening it in v.2.5 it is still not possible to change it. Can ABB please explain WHY??? It is extremely frustrating to see that Drive Composer Pro Licence cost sooo much money and it is not working properly! Shame !!!
