Ignition Perspective auto-sync between two different projects on the same gateway

Ignition
1

Hello there,

I have two separate Ignition Perspective projects on Gateway—one (A project) serves as the library and the other (B project) as a live project. Those perspective Views on the first library file will also be included in the second live project, and the relationship can be described as A ⊆ B and A ≠ B. A is B's proper subset.

I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically synchronize updated Views from the A project to the B project whenever changes are made.

Thanks for the help!

No, and sounds like that would defeat the whole purpose of having a backup copy.

Perhaps you should describe what you hope to achieve.

(Note that the designer's Export... option can also send selected resources to another project instead of actually exporting to a file.)

Thanks for the prompt response! Yes, I completely agree with your comment.
I think my initial description of the question was incorrect so I just rephrased the above question. Sorry for the confusion.

Based on your edit, I see you've described an inheritance hierarchy. You just need to mark project "A" as inheritable and set "B" to inherit from "A". Remove resources from "B" that are duplicates of "A". No further synchronization required.

Note that this is single inheritance, not true library-style multiple inheritance. You may wish to follow my advice described here:
