I have a custom module that is based on the opc ua device example. There is a strange behavior when i enable/disable the device when i once created it beforehand. It changes the Status to Disabled but not the Enabled boolean to false as you can see in the screenshot. Can somebody help me how to disable the Enabled boolean to false within my program?

What version of Ignition is your module installed in?

This sounds like a bug that was fixed in 8.1.27.

Hello,  
thank you for the fast response.

I am a work colleague of @Sebastian_Fekete.  
This screenshot is from Ignition Platform 8.1.24 (b2023011208). I do an update of the platform and report back afterwards.

Best Regards,  
Gerald
