Description

we have the the following CFC code programm

PROGRAM program_0
VAR_INPUT
in1,in2,in3,in4 : INT;
END_VAR
VAR_OUTPUT
out1,out2,out3 : INT;
END_VAR
VAR
x1, x2 : INT;
END_VAR

in the diagram if we connect x1 to the action block output "out1" (w/ or w/o input connection), we have the follwoing compile error

: error: Invalid assignment: cannot assign 'program_0.action1' to 'INT'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied CFC program and the connection from x1 to the action block output out1, then trace the compiler entry point that reports "Invalid assignment". No source file or test is named in the issue; done means the same-type connection compiles without assigning the action block itself to INT.
