Hello, I maked a copy of production server (project, DB) working into a Sanbox server. I have an issue when I try to download the recipe to the PLC, it do not is downloaded, debugging into the script, I found this code for the recipe:

system.recipe.setItemRecipe(itemPath, recipeName, True)  
That code is not changing with the recipe, and it not reflect the value, so I need to modify directly with the script o into the tag using:

system.tag.write(event.source.parent.parent.tagPath + '/PLC/PartNumber',recipeName).

Do you know what I need check for System.recipe.setItemRecipe funtion works? I already validate the tags, and the recipe and all it is fine, I do not find any error with it. I think there are something wrong with the tags that maybe I skipped something when I mounted this copy of production server into this another sandbox server; I have same structure as production server tag.

I appreciate any sugestion.

Testing with this code:  
linePath = "[IGT]Juarez\Finishing\FIN01"  
system.recipe.setItemRecipe(linePath, recipeName, True)
