Hi. Good day. Problem with sequence: Action: we create any sequence. If we add fixtures, no problem, everything is updated perfectly. If we remove one or more fixtures, neither the corresponding hidden scene nor the values of the sequence stages are updated. You have to delete all the stages of the sequence and do them again.
Is there any solution?
Thank you

Are you working in the show manager?
If you created the sequence, there are no hidden scenes behind it...

Please explain your workflow...

If you go to this topic viewtopic.php?t=16710 and open file download/file.php?id=12871, you will notice that Sequences "Loopback - Button Play" and "Loopback - Button Learn" both have 2 fixtures selected.
This is not what is intended.

The sequence "Loopback - Button Play" already existed (with only the "Play Fixture").
I copied this "Loopback - Button Play" sequence, renamed it to "Loopback - Button Learn", added the "Learn Fixture", used the copy value to all fixtures button (for both steps) and then deleted the "Play Fixture".
Everything looks fine (meaning one fixture in every sequence), but when (on Virtual Console) you switch from Design to Run mode and use both functions a few times, they don't act as expected.
If you go back to design mode and look at the sequences, you will notice that the Fixtures that were deleted before are back again.

So in the Sequence that you used as Source, you will also find the Fixture that you (only) added in the Copy.
In the Copy Sequence you will find that the fixture you deleted, is still there.

Even if you save your workfile (after deleting the unwanted Fixtures) and then reload your workfile, the Fixtures keep coming back.

Hello. Good day. I think the solution is: Deactivate all the channels of the fixture that we want to delete. Send example.
