Has anyone come up with a good idea to manage this without creating a separate project or gateway.

Detect project update from client in notify mode

Script in shared.gui (edit: improved with @cmaynes suggestion in following post): from com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.runtime import UpdateAvailableInfoBar # Is an update available for client? def getUpdateNotification(obj): result = False for sub in obj.g…
