Ask a generic question about the usage of QLC+, not related to a particular operating system

Did we agree somewhere on how to indicate that a fixture has RDM capabilities?

For now, I just put '(RDM)' in the fixture definition header...

I think for QLC+ is irrelevant to know if a fixture is capable of RDM or not, for the simple reason that it will be discovered (or not) during RDM discovery.
If it's to "collect" information in the definition then it's another story, but it would be like including the user manual URL, which again is irrelevant for QLC+.

So my view is: please don't :)

Agreed,

And the capabilities reported through RDM is all but standardized - so this won't help at all, to collect for a fixture definition.
(I had to have to let riggers lower huge bridges because of a stupid not reported firmware version through RDM)
