I was trying to make a new HUD using the Positional Popups tab. All I did was add a stat which went as expect but I just wanted to change the color but as soon as I did and clicked on OK the contents of the Item Properties just vanished. I tried adding another stat which again worked but as soon as I try and change the color of the item the properties just dissapear. In order to see the properties again you need to have at least two stats so that you can click back onto the other one and the item propties window re-appear but retain their original values. No changes are ever accepted. In this screen shot I deleted the second stat just then took the screen shot. Has this issue been mentioned before or is this a new bug introduced into the 4.01.25 beta. This is the first time I have tried doing anything with the positional popups tab so i dont know if this was an issue in previous versions?

This problem also occurs when you try changing any of the item properties for the group itself before you even add any stats

I haven't seen this particular issue, but thank you for bringing it to our attention.

One thing you can do in the meantime to work around this is set up the stats you want, then convert the group to freeform and the coloring does work from there (and you can ctrl+click to highlight multiples coloring stats in bunches).

maybe this part of my reply should be in the feature request section but since it's kinda on topic of the popups thought i'd mention it and if need be you can move this into the appropriate section.

I know that by converting the group to freeform deletes it from the Positional Popups but since the process of putting somthing together using Positional popups is so usefull for speeding the process up, wouldn't it be usefull to have a means to duplicate the group your working on so as to act more as a template so you can make changes at a later date if you feel that your previously freeformed version needs changing and don't want to start from scratch working in the Positional popups window?

If you export and reimport the group you get a duplicate that way, so this button really isn't that necessary - it would save you a couple of clicks, but that's about it.
