System and method for modifying multiple request datalink messages in avionics system

A method of modifying downlink message element information in a vehicle communication system, the method comprising:

• generating a plurality of downlink message element information at a verify screen displayed by a display, the verify screen replacing at least one element page upon activation of a verify link;
• allowing for the updating of at least one downlink message element information of the plurality of downlink message element information within the verify screen, wherein allowing the updating of the at least one downlink message element information within the verify screen includes,
• providing an input entry line that is used to enter replacement information, and
• proving at least one modify activation function that is configured to update an associated entered downlink element message information with replacement information in the input entry line upon activation, and
• concatenating the plurality of downlink message element information after the updating of the at least one element information in preparation of generating a concatenating downlink message element information message to be downlinked.

A communication system comprising:

• a transmitter to transmit datalink messages;
• an input to provide a conduit for crew requests;
• a display with input functions positioned to be viewed and used by a crew member, the input functions including an input entry line and at least one modify activation function;
• at least one memory, the at least one memory storing operation instructions including a downlink application;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the transmitter, the input, the display and memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the operation instructions stored in the at least one memory, the processor configured to provide element pages on the display allowing a crew member to enter input requests to be downlinked via the input, the processor further configured to display a verify page upon activation of a verify link by the crew member on the display that replaces the element pages, the verify page including downlink message element information associated with each request entered on the element pages, the processor configured to execute the downlink application to allow for the changing of at least one downlink message element information by the crew member on the verify screen with the input entry line that is used to enter replacement information and at the least one modify activation function that is used to update an associated entered downlink message element information with replacement information entered in the input entry line upon activation before a transmission of a concatenated downlink message including the downlink message element information, the processor further configured to execute the downlink application to allow a non-transmission option on the verify page to selectively prevent the transmission of at least one of the entered requested information in an entered concatenated downlink message element information.
