Why don't my recipe values get updated in my numeric displays?

Issue:
My numeric displays are assigned to my recipe ingredient variables (from the PLC). The recipe values are not updating when a recipe is loaded.

Product Line:
Vijeo Designer (all versions)

Resolution:
In Vijeo Designer, there are the actual recipe ingredient variables and a set of temporary recipe ingredient variables. These temporary variables are used to load (store) and modfiy recipe values before the values are sent to the PLC. If you need to display these variables, you need to ensure that your displays are setup to show the appropriate temporary variables. Each recipe group will have their own set of temporary variables. Showing one set does not imply you will see all the recipe ingredients.
