  3. UIValueType=TextBox Is Rendered As CheckedListBox When Values Are Defined

UIValueType=TextBox is rendered as CheckedListBox when Values are defined

DLMSDirector

Hello,

I have noticed what seems to be an inconsistency in GXDLMSDirector 9.0.2508.2701.

I have a Data object attribute configured with:
"<Type>UInt8</Type>
<UIType>UInt8</UIType>
<UIValueType>0</UIValueType>"

and a collection of GXObisValueItem entries under Values.

In the OBIS Code editor, UIValueType=0 is correctly shown as: TextBox

However, when the Data object is displayed in GXDLMSDirector, the Value field is actually rendered as a CheckedListBox containing all GXObisValueItem entries.

Therefore, there seems to be a mismatch:
Configured:
UIValueType = TextBox
Actual control:
CheckedListBox

My expectation is that explicitly selecting UIValueType=TextBox should keep the field rendered as a TextBox, even if Values are defined.

Could you please confirm whether overriding TextBox with CheckedListBox in this situation is intentional?
If it is intentional, what is the purpose of explicitly selecting UIValueType=TextBox when Values are present?

Thank you in advance.
