Error: No 'Type defined' for some but not all data from Weather Underground

[sjtaubman]

I am running the WeatherUnderground Module to retrieve and display data from my PWS. I am able to display Temperature, Dewpoint, Wind Direction, Wind Speed and Wind Gusts with no problem. However, when I try to display Pressure and Rainfall I get the following message in the Overlay Editor:

ERROR: No 'Type' defined for '${WUQNH}'; check in the Variable Manager in the WebUI's Overlay Editor page. Using '???' instead. (December 20, 09:12:59 PM)

In the Live View I see the ??? instead of the pressure data. However, in the Overlay Editor if I click on "Display Sample Data" it correctly displays the pressure. If I go back into the Variable Manager, the field for Pressure is no longer included with the AllSky Variables (even though it did appear there originally after I added it from the "All Variables" tab). I have tried different variable formats (number and text) and nothing seems to work. It does seem odd that it correctly displays the information when I click Display Sample Data but not otherwise. Also, so many of the PWS data are being display without any problem. I do not see any error message in the Module Manager "Debug Information".

Thanks for your help!

Try adding the field again in the variable manager. This normally occurs when the field has been added but not saved before closing the variable manager

There are a couple of issues related to this that will be addressed in the next release

Thank you! This worked. I think I didn't realize in the moment that I needed to hit "save" as the variable manager screen got re-sized when I added the new field and so instead of clicking "save" (which was no longer visible on screen) I just clicked out of the pop-up window. I was able to work around by zooming out on the variable manager window. Appreciate your help and glad to have this resolved.

It was a bad bit of design on my part - Its bot at all obvious that you need to save it first !

Glad its sorted
