Message handler "view" listen scope not working?

Ignition
#1

I noticed that the “view” listen scope doesn’t seem to pickup messages on the same view, I have to set any component message hander to include “page” for it to work.

Example:

A Tree component has a message handler on it with listen scope set to view only.
A separate button is on the same (coordinate view). No other containers or components exist on the view.
The button calls the message handler.

It only works if I set the message handler to include ‘page’ that it works.

Am I missing something?

You need to specify the scope. By default it uses “page”
system.perspective.sendMessage(messageType = "message", scope = "view")

oh ha well that makes sense thanks!
