On macOS, 4D 16.3 HF4, when trying to edit a constant, the name is not editable. I thought it used to show up in the bottom area near the value, but only the name of the group shows up. Not knowing how old my 4D POP component was, I downloaded a new copy (at least Google can find it). It has the same problem, and the additional problem of invisible breakpoints requiring dozens of clicks on the “no trace” button in the debugger to save a constants file. It’s bad enough we have to quit and reopen the database after modifying constants, but now the POP constants component doesn’t even work?
Ah well…I noticed at Summit that 4D v17 finally has a built-in string split command (much appreciated!), so maybe v19 or v20 can improve quality of life for using constants.
