Hi Bruce,
Yes, they do look the same, except the fields where they should be different. My first reaction was that it is something to do with the fact that the record is in an invalid state. But they all are. So I am trying to understand why is this one singled out. EDM edit properties dialog shows no difference between the Text Control which shows correct value and the one that does not.
Thank you,
Zen

Hi Zen,
Are all the other PV's also UDF with SEVR Invalid?
If not, that might explain the difference.

If they're all UDF, it might be due to some setting that's different
on that edm text control widget.

I have a peculiar problem which I fail to understand.
I am using EPICS R3.14.12.2, EDM 1-12-56.
I have a few longout records which are created from the same template.
After the IOC is initialized, these longout records have non zero
values.  The records are controlled via EDM Text Control widgets.  At
this point, no user entries were made.  I could explain how these
records got the initial values, but that is probably not relevant.  When
I start an EDM screen which has the Text Controls, one of the controls
shows value of zero.  caget on this record shows a non zero value. I got
the PV name for the caget command by middle clicking on the Text
Control. Yet, all the other Text Controls show the correct non zero
values which are the values that I verified with both caget and dbpr
commands.   The Text Controls were created by copy and paste, all the
records were created from the same template.
Restarting EDM does not help.  Putting EDM in edit mode and back in
execute mode does not help; the value zero is stubbornly displayed and
just for this one PV.

Here is dbpr output for the record in question:

dbpr output for the other records (which don't show this problem) looks
identical for all practical purposes.
Any suggestion as to the nature of the problem and how to over come it,
would be much appreciated.
