Not what I've proposed at all.
Hello, Barry. Thank you for your reply, but I was suggesting that the composite label tool should let us edit it with a simple double click. Also, there is a difference in what we use as a code name for all materials e.g. M301_BCA White Brick Masonry and section description for the same material e.g. 300 mm Yt_ng A+ Masonry and adhesive in a thin layer - usually we need to change that us a custom text in the settings menu. A double click on the text, or right-click, edit on the object would be faster. Thank you again for your support!

It depends on what type of label you are using.
If you are using an 'autotext' label, then that text will edit just like any other text does.
You can use plain text (won't get info from the element) or autotext that will get information from the element the label is attached to and this text is fully editable as you want.
If you are using an 'object' label, then they are GDL scripted labels and the text is not editable like standard text would be.
The text is controlled in the GDL scripts so you can only control the content by altering the parameters (if they allow for options) or by altering the element the label is attached to.
Text in GDL objects is not editable in the same way as standard text is.
So your wish would be to make text displayed by an object (including object labels), be editable inn the same way as standard text is.
I am not sure that would be possible, because the text in an object is either derived from calculations in the script (in the case of labels it can be info obtained from the associated element), or it is manually typed into a parameter by the user and then that parameter value is displayed in the script.
It would be nice if parameter values in object text could be edited directly on screen, rather than going into the object parameter settings, but that defeats the purpose in a label as that derives the info directly from the associated element and not a user input parameter value.
Barry.
