Hi

How to select an entity from model for a component?
Okay, there is a list of ALL entities in ALL models.
But if one have more then one model an over 800 entities, this is  a non workable way to do so.

Did I miss any "trick" 🙂

That's an issue reported some 18 months ago...  Sounds like it's still around...

Hi Ingo,

We are currently working to include object filtering in the coming patches. The first step will be to have profile functionality in the U-Bar before rolling it out to the other lists in the IDE.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Ingo,

what about writing your own entity name picker based on DICT
and activate it via the global usermenu?

Or even more performant:
just use the good old "2nd application" for these private utilities.

In U10.3, the "test" will open a second application as well,
so just start the namepicker from the PRJ under "test".
