Good day!

I’ve just upgraded from Ignition 7 to Ignition 8 and migrated a project also. There were some issues on the migration but I got some of them fixed but this bug I haven’t fixed. Saving a csv with an automated filename.

This is my project from Ignition 7.

and here is the project migrated to Ignition 8.

and also I created a new project still had the same result

I did this kind of automated filename for the different data to be extracted with the automated date. It is a hassle to always type the filename. Is there a solution for this?

Thanks!

I think its related to another bug that is being worked on unfortunately. I'd keep an eye on the linked thread for updates.

In 8.0 it doesn’t do that, you have to add a .csv at the end of the filename or it will save the file without extension. Another thing I’m seeing is that the save prompt doesn’t pre-populate with a suggested filename whe…
