Pogo device properties - TANGO Controls

# 7 years ago
drea	I would like to have an array of strings in a device property. I am creating an property in POGO as an "Array of String" type, which gets resolved to: <type xsi:type="pogoDsl:StringVectorType"/> in the XMI files. I am trying to put in a default value, a list of 3 or 4 items, one per line. However, on saving the POGO device, this list is disappearing. I can't seem to get it to keep the list. I notice that the XMI generated also does not have a <DefaultPropValue>……</DefaultPropValue> entry for my device property. I'm using POGO v8.4.5a (I would not like to shift to Pogo 9). Is it not possible to have default values for string array in device properties?

Pascal	Hi Drea I did a test with POGO v8.4.5 and default values works fine in C++. Your bug report is for which language ?

drea	Apologies, I forgot to say that I am generating XMI/Code for PyTango with POGO v8.4.5.

Pascal	After investigations, this bug was already existing (only for Python). It has been fixed in a new release (9.3.0) available on Download section on this site. Cheers Pascal
