Maybe change the name?

alarmAckTransient  ->  alarmNoAckTransientLevel

Would that be more comprehensive? Or do you have a better idea?

No. I will make it alarmNoAckTransientLevel unless someone has a better

idea.

Suggestion:

Change the type of alarmAckTransient from boolean to

menu(menuAlarmSevr) and redefine it as "highest level of alarm that

does not have to be acknowledged". Doesn't need more space in the DB

and allows for nice and subtle configuration options: e.g. warnings

that don't have to be ack'ed while errors do.

What do you think?

Sounds fine to me. I will change RecordCommon.wiki to

        field(alarmAckTransient,menu(menuAlarmSevr)) {
        # highest level of alarm that does not have to be acknowledged"
        }

If there are objections it can always be changed back.
