How do I stop a RunAlways SFC chart from starting a new instance? every time i open an existing SFC chart, maybe just to look at it, then close it and save my project a new instance of the RunAlways SFC chart starts up. i have the chart setup in a loop so it never ends. when another instance starts up it then does the same work as the first instance. is there a way to stop new instances from starting up or maybe stopping a previous instance if a new one starts?

Thanks,

According to [this post](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=15051&p=55543&hilit=sfc#p55543), this should be fixed.
