[Equest-users] Detailed Data Edit Disappearing

[Chris Wark]

There are a few things that can only be done (or at least reasonably
done) in wizard mode, so the workaround for this is to save the model
under a new filename, make changes in wizard mode, save the new model to
create the new Input file, then copy all the sections that you didn't
want changed from the old model Input file to the new one. You have to
use the Input files, not the BDL files. I have done this a couple of
times when changing HVAC system types or calculating new wall assembly
U-values but wanting to keep all the windows that I entered in detailed
mode.

if you are using any wizards after making detailed data edit changes,
including the EEP wizards, your detailed data edits will be
over-written.  Once you go to detailed mode, you pretty much need to
stay there.

I seem to have problems with my input information disappearing in the
detailed data edit and the default values being restored.  Examples
would be adding an ERV or modifying the electric utility rates.  Am I
navigating through it wrong and deleting the input changes?  Not sure
why it disappears.
