I'm running Ignition Edge 8.1 52 currently and run into the following problem. When calling system.util.audit in Vision without specifying the auditProfile, it will error out:

```python
ValueError: No audit profile specified or found for the project

```

There is no place in designer for Edge that I could find to set this. There's a built-in profile named `EdgeAuditProfile` so I assumed it would just write to it automatically, but it doesn't. So if you manually specify the `auditProfile` as part of your call, then it works fine even though it's technically an optional argument. I found this the hard way by using a script I had used previously that just didn't work in Edge.

Can anyone else replicate it or is there some hidden setting I'm missing? I already have the Enable Auditing setting checked.

Edit: You can even just try running it in the script console and get the same error.

Thanks for the report. This is just an oversight - we haven't added a branch to the logic that says "if you're on Edge, use that audit profile if the end user didn't try to specify one".
