I recently used EAM to push template and windows from a global project to our project running on edge. Unfortunately my project is no longer runnable. I think its because it now says Inheritable = true. Which settings are locking that out. I cannot find how to change that setting? Any advice? Thanks

It should be on the gateway webpage under `Config → Projects → Edit` for the project in question. There you will see a check box for toggling the project inheritance.

I see that option under my other projects in ignition, but not the one running on edge.

Make a new project on your source server. Assembly all the resources there. Make sure it isn't inheritable. Resend to Edge.

Edge can only have one project IIRC, so looks like you pushed an inheritable project to the Edge. Inheritable projects can’t be launched, so, Ignition expects you to launch a different project that inherits this project - but Edge only allows one project, leaving you stuck in between it looks like. Try overwriting with a non-inheritable

Thank you, that worked.
