Hi, looking for C++ advice on the approach to have 1 user input change apply to multiple studies. Study A has an integer SCInputRef initially set = 5. Study B has an integer SCInputRef initially set = 5. If 6 is the new desired input value, (as the studies are built today) i would open the study settings for each and change the input value. How would you approach one action which then updates the value 5->6 for both studies? My possible ideas so far: a) Is this a scenario to leverage a global variable? If both studies are in the same dll, could the SCInputRef be a global global variable and would updating either study input propagate? b) Should I build a (new) separate study specifically for the the integer SCInputRef input and design Study A and Study B to reference the value of the new study? c) Maybe I'm over complicating this and there is some built in sc function I havent found? thanks in advance for your suggestions. |

Doing one study as a "master" and another as a "slave" is meant to refer to one of them in the other. Reference via array or via persistant (pointer) from study. Another option is to use the summary window in c ++
