    I have a routine for which it would be good if it was possible to store Enable States in a scene. However, this does not seem to be possible.
    I find that I can neither edit the scenes which contain only Enable Variables, nor does the StoreScene function, or a special button created to store altered Enable Variales do anything to the values.:(
    I am using a C-Touch MKII with Logic.

    Is this something that should work, and is therefore a bug, or is it as intended the way it appears?

    You are prevented from editing trigger control groups or enable groups in scenes. This is because 99.99% of the time these should not be edited.

    OK, I made up the 99.99% figure, but it is very rare indeed that these should be changed.

    What are you trying to do?

    Hi Darren,

    I agree that these should not be edited under normal circumstances.
    The application calls for an external input, collected via a bus coupler, to temporarily switch off a set of Enable groups. After the external input resets, the set of enable groups need to be reset to the same levels as before.
    Currently I have to convert the Enable groups to Lighting groups, store their levels in the scene, then recall the scene and convert the stored lighting levels back to the Enable groups.
    Works well, but would be easier if I could store the Enable groups directly, and update them in the scene.
