Light fixture patching - Method for Symbol/DMXIS label to update

[sephult]

Hi!

Working with my fixtures I am curious if there is already a solution for this or if this is something that might be added.
So the DXMIS fixture format allows to specify the label for the range of the parameter like below.
As you know one input fader is 0-255 translated in the patch to a 0-1 value fader.

0,128,Program1
129,255,OFF



When attaching a fader or control to the fixture module, the symbol (DXMIS Label such as "Program1" and "Off") does get transferred
to the input control.

Unfortunately as values change the symbol does not reflect the correct label for the value range.

However, when using the plot window and fixture settings the DXMIS symbols/labels will update on those faders.

Would a comma-text symbols output be a solution to bring these to the faders, or is there some sort of feedback on the input port similar to the Plot settings faders that can be used?
At the moment, without a lot of additional patching I am not sure how to display the proper labels on my patch interface.
