Hi guys, i have run into a bit of bother when acknowledging alarms. From the acknowledge button on the alarm status table, if i select a handful of messages it works okay. However when i attempt to group select all existing alarms (for example 500 alarms), it will display “alarm acknowledgement failed”. From the log on the gateway, it provides a bit more detail -  
Manager - An alarm could not be acknowledged, it may no longer be registered.

A quick search online brought me to this [Alarm could not be acknowledged. It may no longer be registered](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/alarm-could-not-be-acknowledged-it-may-no-longer-be-registered/15685) but the user was acknowledging through a custom script, i am just looking to use the standard function.
