I'm using SW2018 Premium.
I create a view, then right click and choose 'Add view label'.
Firstly, is there are a way to have it go directly into editing the field rather than having to double click in a tiny box?
After manually entering text for the view label (I'd like to use the weldment cut list part number, but that doesn't seem to be a linkable property), the view and the label disappears completely. It's in the tree and set to 'show'....but it just disappears.
I enter the text, but when I click anywhere outside the text field, the view disappears completely.
Also, if I don't manage to click in the box to open the text field, the label isn't shown (or is blank) but then I can't edit it. The option 'Add view label' is no longer in the right click menu. The only option seems to be deleting the view and trying again.
That is weird, maybe you can upload a screen recording to show what actually happened.
You can use free tools like Camtasia to record the screen.
