[BUG-16846] Perspective designer issues after losing connection

Ignition Early Access
1

Ignition 8.0.14

I usually get the following error when I have the designer open on a Perspective view and I temporarily lose connection to the gateway. Usually the loss of connection is due to me connecting to a client’s VPN. One the connection comes back I get the following error. I am then unable to save / run bindings correctly.

I just received the same error for a similar situation.

Is there a fix for this?

I’m on 8.1.1 and after losing connection and getting it back, every time I save this error pops up and it seems like things start messing up, like parameters gone, custom properties, etc.
