Hi,

 

Please post a screenshot of the filed where you want to enter data. If you mean the fields that show up in the Groups tab you should be entering the attributes you have for your data.

Hi Zilla,

 

The "Description" you are looking at refers to the Description property of each group.  That said, all you need to do then is use the "TDMS Set Properties.vi" and wire in the name of the group that you are wanting to set this property for as well as the property name (description) and the value you want to store for that property.  Attached is the same vi you mentioned in your post but I have modified it to store "hello" in one description and "world" in the other. 

 

Hope this helps.
