[IGN-5211] Perspective - Import project issue - Overwrite all option

Ignition Early Access
1

For a long time I got error when I import project with the designer. I select all and overwrite all.

I think that I have a view that create that issue but unable to know witch one.

Perhaps related but I had a project where I had a script module named helpdesk that I renamed to HelpDesk which now throws me an issue when I try importing all/overwriting. I use 8.0.17. Have you renamed anything recently?

To find out which one, you can just try importing your views one by one until you discover which one is causing it - that is how I figured out what was causing mine.

Think that it can be due to a renamimg, but I do it long time a go and don’t remember wich views was renamed. I have a lot of view and don’t want to be forced to try each one individually. I think it can be better to get a fix on that issue instead of patch.

I think the way I ‘fixed’ this was by exporting the entire project, and then importing it via the gateway (instead of designer) over my old copy.
