In element S_Value I have set

Initial Value - some numer
remember last value \"yes\"
send initial value on start \"yes\"

When the design is run, saved during runtime through DesignInteractor, closed, and reloaded,

the S_Value returns to the same inital value as before, a value change during runtime is not remembered.

How can I make the element rememer the value, like the checkbox says?

The last value is remembered:

1. During stop
2. If there was at least one input value which can be remembered.

I see.
I assume there is and AND between the two conditions you named.

Any hint what is the easiest way to remember a value through save (with design interactor) and reload?

Yes, AND. I see no other way but restart.

Can you provide the requested behaviour as a paid feature?

The ScalarValue element should remember it's last value when the design is saved and reloaded.
For example by providing a checkbox \"set inital value to be last value\" where the initial value is changed with every change in present value.

We have about 100 instances in our software where this behaviour is requested by the customers

This is intended behavior.

You should always STOP the design before you save it. You should also always stop design before you exit BioEra. That is a major assumption and many elements rely on this.

So you say the S_value will be remembered through
Stop-Save-Reload
but not through
Save-Reload
?
Many of our designs get saved during runtime and it hasn't caused trouble so far

This wasn't clear to me from the previous coversation, as you said:

The last value is remembered:

1. During stop [so here you implied saving and reloading?]
2. If there was at least one input value which can be remembered.

So I tried this to get the values remembered

SystemInteractor - STOP
Delay 1
Design Interactor - SAVE
Delay 2
Design Interactor - LOAD any other design

The problem is, after the STOP has been called, the action chain will not go on. Everything is connected to PreProcessor, which should ensure that it keeps running after STOP.

Where is the problem? Does Processer not work with delays?

The option \"Save then Load new design\" in DesignInteractor stops current design before it saves it. So there is no need for a separate stop. And looks like your problem is somewhere else.
