Dear experts, We are running vision at a client and they would like to make some trending with easy chart. We made a tree view of all tags where the client can drag and drop the wanted tag. After we "save and publish" a new version these changes are gone and the client has to make his trend again. He wants to save the configuration of the easy charts. Is this possible? Thanks! ---

I would use the Ad hoc from the exchange. > **[Ignition Exchange](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/92/overview)** > > Discover, share, and download community made Ignition resources in collaboration with your organization or the Ignition community. ---

The key is that a "configured" EasyChart has several dataset properties containing that configuration. You likely have some binding on the EasyChart that is initializing those properties with your original configuration. You will need to modify the bindings to not do that, but instead load the last setup. (And provide a way for the user to signal that they want to save the setup.) Such a setup typically uses the database to hold the configurations, keyed to user name. ---

Hi, I would like to use this. ![Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/5/45ad7583763279a0d3a7a76fa11ee64f3702da45.png) I am running version V8.0.16 of Ignition. I imported the .PROJ file into the designer and made a new vision windows. I dragged and dropped the AD\_HOC template into the window. When i try to "save" a graph i get the error in attachment. Can you help? Thanks in advance! ---

I'm kind of guessing you're missing some data the module expects. Maybe a name ? But without more information about the error, there's not much we can do to help. Or, it's a compatibility issue. The module's page clearly says `7.9.18`, and you're running `8.0.16`. That's a big leap. By the way, you probably shouldn't be running 8.0 anyway. ---

Hi Pascal, Can you explain why we should not be running V8.0 anyway? Thanks! ---

V8.0 was never intended to be a LTS version. V8.0.17 was the last version if I remember correctly, and your 1 version behind that, on top of that 8.1 is now at 8.1.24. That means you're 26 releases behind. That's a whole host of features and bug fixes that you don't have access to. ---

See this whole topic for a review of the pinch you are in: > [@GIT - best practice](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/git-best-practice/58732/9): > > This graphic from 2019 shows the expected support lifetime of v8.0. (Very short. I don’t recall the source article for that image, but it was widely discussed on this forum.) This blog post from last year explains the extension of v7.9’s active support phase to this June due to the length of time between v7.9’s release and v8.1: A similar effect will happen when v8.2 comes out. It will be glorious–new features galore, enabled by architecture changes that would be too disruptive to intro… One bit of good news: this will be avoided on the next go-around. IA announced at ICC that they are skipping v8.2. ---
