Properties Panel disappears on Alarm Pipelines

Ignition
1

Running Ignition 7.6.2 b2368
After I open Designer the Property Editor Panel appears until I click on the Alarm Pipelines folder or one of the alarm pipelines in the folder. I cannot edit Notification properties in the pipeline.

The panel reappears when I open a window from the Project Browser or click on the Windows folder.

The Property Editor panel is checked when I look under View/Panels from the Designer menu.

Hmm, I’m afraid I don’t quite understand the problem you’re having.

The Property Editor panel should get swapped out for the Pipeline Block Editor panel if you’ve got a folder or pipeline selected in the tree. Is this not happening?

I found that I needed the Pipeline Block Editor. Once I checked the box under the View/Panels I am now able to edit the pipeline blocks.

It would improve usability if the Pipeline Block Editor would become visible when the user double clicks on a pipeline block.

Thanks

Hmm… it does for me. I’ve never seen it hidden before.

I’ll ask around and see if anybody else has experienced this.

EDIT: I see what’s going on. If it’s been explicitly turned off under View > Panels, it doesn’t show up when you select a pipeline.
