For example , i cannot use legend.Reset() specifically, as well as some other things like OnClick callbacks linked to Mechanical Interface buttons do not work .&lt;br&gt;I understand that this is a very limited use case, but could anyone point me to what changed between versions 23 and 24 with the container.edit() function ?&lt;br&gt;Additionnally, what could i do to re-add the .Edit() line ?&lt;br&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: &nbsp;If someone could tell me how to format a block of text as code i would appreciate it too !&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-390037","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-python-ironpython-1","topic-tag-macros-scripting-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["470933","200"],"_bbp_author_ip":["156.28.6.11"],"_btv_view_count":["164"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_last":["470933"],"_bbp_revision_log":["a:3:{i:390040;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:470933;s:6:\"reason\";s:10:\"formatting\";}i:390041;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:470933;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}i:390045;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:470933;s:6:\"reason\";s:40:\"I'm terrible at editing with this editor\";}}"],"_bbp_likes_count":["1"],"_bbp_topic_id":["390037"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["200","470933"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["390620"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["390620"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-10-21 11:26:14"]},"test":"antoine-crestani-extsafrangroup-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":390045,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390037\/revisions\/390045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
