Running 2020 SP2.1 on a 15" MacBook Pro using 10.14.6.
Back in the day (like 2008-2011), I had dozens, if not hundreds, of custom scripts all nicely organized and quickly accessible via the document or object context menus. Things that greatly accelerated my workflow.
As time has gone on, I've been cutting those things back with each release, and stopped writing new ones, as fewer and fewer seem to be "allowed". 2019 seemed to fix some of the issues, and I could put a few more custom scripts in the object context menu. But now, in 2020, it's a complete s**tshow. The same workspace menu layout (built from scratch, not imported) that I had in 2019 is a mess. Some scripts run, while others don't, and it appears to be completely random. Two which are supposed to bring up a small dialog asking me to input a number, instead open various plant dialogs.
This has been an ongoing problem for years, and has never been rectified after several contacts with VW. There also doesn't appear to be any real guide as to how many custom menus you can put in before things simply stop working.
EDIT: I have fixed this a little by deleting a bunch of menu items from standard menus that I don't use. But, that shouldn't be necessary.
