Performed a thousand times and suddenly no longer possible.
If I want to assign an action to a joystick button (e.g. camera view), I have to click with the left mouse button in the field “Start review” to activate the field for an input.
Then the left mouse button is immediately entered in this field with “Joystick L-axis Z-” and a warning is displayed “You are trying to assign an action to a device that is not selected”.
This means that I can no longer make a keyboard assignment or a button assignment.
How to fix the error? How do I get out of this loop?
In the control assignment screen, make sure you selected the actual controller first. From left to right, the controllers are usually keyboard, mouse, then everything else you have connected and recognized. It’s possible you’re trying to assign that button but don’t have the controller that possesses that button selected.

No, I selected the controller first.
The problem is that when I click the mouse in the input window, the mouse click is immediately interpreted as the assignment of a button.
But this should not be so with a left mouse click, but this left mouse click should only activate the correct input window for the input of an assignment.
did you tried to add some dead zone to your “Joystick L-axis Z-” in sensivity sections ? it appear your sim is receiving unwanted input ? this can occur with joystick (or yoke) drifting, I suggest to try setting a dead zone at around 5%
I do not think that is your mouse, most likely that is a small signal from the controller axis that is being transmitted constantly, so the second you click the spot, the signal displays.
You could try adding a dead zone for that axis, that may stop it (as mentioned above by NIKoTin34230)

o.k. thank you.
Will check tomorrow once what MSFS has assigned for this axis.
Maybe you are right that this axis is not the left mouse button.
I had not even thought of this idea.

Yes, you have set me on the right path.
It was indeed my Thrustmaster Throttle.
I no longer use the throttle axis, but had set a slight feed.
So this axis has continuously “fired” when I clicked with the mouse pointer in the input field.
I have probably not deactivated them in the MSFS.
Danke für den Tipp. Danach hätte ich allein noch lange gesucht…
Thanks for the tip. I would have searched for this alone for a long time…
