Ignition
1

I have encounted a problem where when i open the project in the design launcher most of my windows and templates are now gone and replaced by folders with the same name. In the gateway diagnostic logs i have about 15 notifications every 10 seconds pushing this message(This is just for one of the windows/templates):

For some unknown reason the ā€œreferance.jsonā€ got cleared on some components,
Solved the issue by going into the ā€œreference.jsonā€ document under each component at
C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\data\projects\XXXXXX\com.inductiveautomation.vision
and adding a script based on the ā€œreference.jsonā€ file on the components that were working.
Thankfully not much work was lost!
