That’s what I figured. I honestly don’t think it would be a difficult task for UR to fix. I’m sure they’ve got their hands full but there have been some very good enhancement suggestions in the couple years I’ve been here (including one or three of my own) that would not be more than a dozen man-hours to implement.
Is there a command in the URCaps development package that might simulate either a tab change (or a real tab change if you can get back to the previous tab)?
Bottom line, it takes a second to tab away then back to the move tab to get the updated TCP so unless there’s a way to trick it into updated easily I wouldn’t worry about it.

There is a way to do this, but it is not easy. I don’t think you’re supposed to be able to access any of the Polyscope components via a CAP other than the Toolbar they explicit provide you.
I’ve had a chance to use this a few times on one robot and wanted to give some very brief feedback… So far it works as expected and I haven’t seen any issues with it. Makes this task exponentially faster and much easier. I’ll be installing this on the other robot as soon as I get it back on line.
Anyone looking to have a quick way to change Active TCPs should have a look.
The active in the Move screen might be changed if the user went there with the intension of modifying a Waypoint that is with a specific TCP. So if the Move screen should be extended with a functionality it might need more considerations. The automatic TCP refresh or the option to turn off program edits while the program is running. Might be higher on the wish list
