Version 8.1.9, but probably happened sooner. 😉

I can import a custom palette, but it doesn’t show in the designer. If I import again, is asks if I want to overwrite. So, it appears the the import somewhat works.

Same problem here **8.1.21**

When I import into a complete new project it works. But not an existing one.

Still a problem in 8.1.22.

I can import a custom palette, but it doesn’t show in the designer.

It does not display in the export either. ExportedFile.zip --\> com.inductiveautomation.vision is missing custom-palettes subfolder.

There might be a workaround. Import the project that contains a custom palette and make it inheritable. Then, set your existing project to inherit from it.
