Changes done in a Perspective session not being saved. Changes are lost when doing a "save" in Designer.
Welcome to the forums Bill,
Without any info we won't be able to assist you.
What version of Ignition are you currently working with?
Do you have connection to the gateway when you save?
What do you mean exactly by changes done in a perspective session not being saved?
Are you working over a VPN?

Thanks for the quick response. I'm using version 8.1.33. Yes I have connection to the Gateway. The Gateway, Designer, and Perspective session are all on the same "VM" machine. The Data is coming through a VPN connection, but that does not seem to have any issues. When I run a script (Click a button" in a Perspective session, everything works. It adds some things to several drop downs, and adds some tags to my database. I can interface with the new tags and dropdowns without issue. But if I go to my Designer session, and do an import, nothing happens. And then, if I do a "save" in the designer session, my Perspective session will lose all the changes that were made there. (the tags that were created will still be there) Not sure what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions!
This sounds like a persistence issue.
If you want data to be displayed in the dropdowns and the screen from your database, you will need to setup bindings that will drive the screen. When you go into the designer and save it will save any session into that state on startup if nothing is bound or pushing data to properties.
In short, there is no issue with your designer saving your views.

OK - let me think about that. Maybe a better approach would be to build the dropdowns based on data that is contained in the Tags. That way, the dropdowns would be refreshed/updated when the Tag data is changed. I'll see if I can make that happen. I'm pretty new to this, so I'm sort of feeling my way through it all.
Thanks for the input! I'll see what I can do!
