Is there an Ignition 8 archetype we can use for new modules? I’ve been using 1.1.0 and then making the changes necessary to upgrade it to an 8.0 module…

There isn’t an archetype yet, totally forgot about those.

No worries at all it’s not too hard to change - I just wanted to check and see if there was an existing archetype that I was missing.

I started updating the archetypes in [this branch](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-archetypes/tree/ignition-8-support).

You can clone it, run `mvn clean install`, then reference archetype version `1.2.0-SNAPSHOT` to test it out. Make sure after you clone you actually switch to that branch.
