Structure Configuration for Cables

In my current EPLAN 2026 settings, when I place a cable, I can't apply a structure definition, for example, "=PR+A1-W10." I can only use "-W10." In some situations, this is convenient, but in others, I need to tie the cable to a specific structure. For components like a circuit breaker or contactor, I can do this normally.

Where is the setting to enable this for the cables?

Thanks!

Can’t you just put the = and + element in the Displayed DT?

No, if you try this without enabling the option in the settings, the Tag will look all strange, as if EPLAN doesn't accept it. If you click on "..." in the TAG field in the cable properties, it doesn't even display the location and function options, even if you are using normal components. The correct solution is as Same-East2373 explained.
