I’m trying to open a popup window from another popup window and it’s popping under instead of over. I can’t figure out the right set of radio buttons/check boxes to make it function the way I want.

Did you set your layer for the new popup to be higher than the current one?

No! Thank you!!

It’s been a number of months since I’ve worked in Ignition, and I wasn’t an expert before. I totally forgot about the layers.
