Ignition Reporting: Table component loses columns on export/import

I was moving reports that I had created in a development environment into the production environment, and upon import I noticed that the Table component I had used for my report had lost its columns and the content in the columns. I right-clicked the report to export it, and only had the report in question selected (only exported/imported 1 report). I imported the report by clicking File -> Import and selected the report

Ignition resources aren't (can't feasibly be) forwards compatible. You went from 8.1.33 and tried to import those resources into 8.1.22? I'm not surprised that didn't work. There's probably at least one error in the Designer's output console on the destination telling you what went wrong.

The inverse should absolutely work - older resources should open correctly in newer versions.

Makes sense. Looking at the Output Console I do have an error that says "java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot open system clipboard". I wasn't sure if it was a bug, but I'll remove that from the title now.
