(yes I know it is v13 in the tutorial)
I was following this tutorial and this is exactly what I want to do.
However, when we get down to
"At this point, notice that the HMI Tag is linked to a specific valve within our array of udtValves, dbValves.Valve[1]. Now, select your new IndexedValve tag and open up the property pane below. Select the empty drop-down box for "Address" and choose "HMI Tag". Now, navigate to your HMI tags and select "Index," the internal tag we created a few moments ago. At this point you will notice that the PLC Tag name shows "<Multiplex Tag>" (instead of dbValves.Valve[1]), and the 'address' now shows you a dynamic link to array. By setting our Index tag, we can now vary where our IndexedValve is pointed."
The drop down list for the address is greyed out and it is not possible to paste in the "index" value to the address.
Is this just not possible ?
Siemens and the youtube give lots of instructions on how this IS possible and even the internal help inside my specific version of WINCC Pro V15.1 even details how to do it and yet it does NOT work.
I just want to know if it is possible, and if so how?
Am I wrong in thinking that the professional package should include all the functions of the lower packages?
Is this only available in advanced and not pro?
Is this only available in an older version and not v15?

Just found this
"Requirements:
Multiplexing is only possible using SIMATIC WinAC, SIMATIC S7-300,
SIMATIC S7-400 or SIMOTION as controller."
Surely the CPU 1516-3 PN/DP can do anything the 300 can?
