Change spindle ROM on the fly

I know you can click +10%/-10% to change spindle RPM while the machine is running, but is there a way (can there be a way) to change it by entering a value? You can do this while the cycle is stopped but not while it is running. I use a 24,000 RPM spindle so -10% from max speed is a difference of over 2,000RPM; and if I get my wish, I'll be using a 60,000RPM spindle one day which will be 6,000RPM difference with a single click. I'd like to be able to change it by something like 100RPM at a time.

You have to program the spindle RPM in your g-code program and you can override that value with 1 to 300% with writting into the SRO textfield or pressing the + and - buttons next to it, they also change the value in the SRO.

Ok that's odd. I tried it in demo mode here at work on the new version 1.2022 and it works, but it didn't work last night or any previous attempts at home on 1.1027. I'll have to check that out when I get back.
Thanks!

In earlier versions of the software that DRO was editable only when the g-code was stopped, however the + and - SRO buttons were working,
we just recently changed this and made the SRO DRO and some others editable always even if g-code is being executed.
