move has to do with pan / tilt channels
lightup has to do with 'fire lamp' (on traditional movers) intensity, diafragma settings and blinder, frost, closed gobo, etc ...
You cannot ask us for channel 1 and 13 is on => no light

then... if you 'dump' values to something and they don't work ... well maybe the values aren't right? Right?

IF in simple view you get some light ... then you dump, the dump will reproduce the same light.

Just to be sure we understand each other: If, in the context of QLC+, we talk about 'dump' this is "Take a copy of all working functions and put these into a scene"
See https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/dmxdump.html

What you are saying: you have a dumped situation to a button. In flash mode it works, toggle mode it doesn't work?

Please send your project so I (we) can check what is going on.

To try I need your custom fixture also : Lixada 70W 4 in 1 (I can't find DMX chart for that one in 30 seconds)

Looking at simple Desk - flash and toggle do exactly the same (!!) No problem there
ch. 4 goes to 10, ch. 6 to 255 and ch. 8 to 58

I can't find any problems...

All problems situate inside your fixture definition ... and I'm quite sure you messed up with HTP and LTP channels.
But since I don't have the DMX parameters I can only correct what I think has to be done.

See annex (FAR FROM UP TO QLC+ STANDARDS)
problems:
* master dimmer and strobe ... where does dimming stop and where does strobing start?
* colour mixing needs all possible values defined
* colour mixing speed ... from S>F or ??
* function combination: unsupported in QLC+ v4
* reset does what exactly?

I've tried it with the 'new' fixture definition and now things look better. Replace your fixture file with mine and try.
