I remember at one point if i have a group or fixtures selected, the attribute palletes would become useable based on the fixtures selected (at least i remeber this on the hogII). I may be missing something here, but i don't think im getting that anymore . . .
Are you recording your palettes as Global? This would of course cause the annunciation to not be applied.
From p#175 in the v2.1 manual....
By default, the following rules determine how the palette is recorded: 1. Position palettes are always recorded Per Fixture. 2. If all the fixtures to be recorded have exactly the same parameter values, then the palette is recorded as Global. 3. Otherwise the palette is recorded Per Fixture.
