Ignition 8.3-RC1

I have a custom module to create a historian. The only required field is the name. Once I add a SecretConfig field, the Create Historian button does not get enabled. I’ve tried setting the value to none, embedded, etc.

Without the secret field once I type in something for the name, the button is enabled.

Your frontend dependencies are up to date as well? This sounds like a bug in the web UI that was already fixed.

Just tried it out on 8.3.0 and it was still having the issue.

Hi @jpark ,

Are you using our form generation through field decorators or are you creating your own custom React form components? In either case, would you mind DMing what you currently have set up? Thanks.
