Is there any possible workaround with maxforlive to enable clip envelope automation of data contained in [textedit] objects? For instance, with 'Parameter Mode Enabled' on a [textedit] object, I do not have the 'Automated and Stored' inspector option for 'Parameter Visibility'--- only 'Stored Only' and 'Hidden'.

The basic example patch below allows for clip envelope automation of a parameter for the [live.dial] object, but not for the [textedit] included in the same patch (but changes to data held in [textedit] are saved within my session):

live.dial

pattr

prepend

textedit

My specific use case: I built an algorithmic composition instrument, which is fed data from 9 [textedit] objects. I want to record that data as automation into clip envelopes, and switch between the clips during performance. The only way I've been able to achieve this is through implementing a separate pattr-based preset system within the patch that is controlled via a [live.menu]---for which Ableton is capable of automating the current [live.menu] selection. But this approach feels a bit cumbersome.

In my opinion you will always have to use another parameter that can me "automated and stored" to automate a parameter that doesn't have this option.

hello.

Are there any live objects with "automated and stored" parameter option that can store text?

I've looked, and I think...... there are not. 

The only solution I can think of to improve the situ, is to receive track&clip name info via Live API, and auto store/retrieve pattr presets based on current track&clip names.
