OpenAction to update the position of a fader or encoder by reading out the current value of a given parameter. Useful when using multiple controller profiles to change the behavior of widgets.

I want to be able to use the current value of a Widget in all its Gesture's Actions, not only in the Value Change or Toggle or Hold/Release one.

Could you give an example? it's not exactly clear to me.
What do you mean by 'parameter'?

Absolutely.
Say you use a fader which is connected to the mix value of a reverb plugin and you adjust that fader to 50%.
Then you switch profiles and that fader now controls the filter cutoff of a synth, which currently sits at 100%. You fader will still show 50% because that was the last value you dialed in.
BTW I think the best solution would probably be to save fader positions inside the controller profiles and recall them when switching profiles.
because when a widget controls multiple parameters with different start and end points, there is no way to determine the exact position by just reading out the values. Maybe something with thinking about..
