What is your actual, ultimate end goal here? Creating and saving resources like this is 1. extremely complicated and 2. extremely fragile to Ignition codebase changes (I can _guarantee_ that anything you end up getting to work will not work in 8.0, for instance).

If there’s another way to achieve the same end result, I would highly recommend pursuing that.
