Hello,

I am using Ignition version 8.1.43. I have 4 projects on the same gateway, each for a separate line. I have similar window names in each application like "Display" or "Graphic".

I am working on project (project X), and my colleague is working on another project (Project Y).  
When I open "Display" window from my project (project X), then "Display" window from project Y, is shown to be in use and if my colleague tries to open it, Ignition designer shows that the resource is edited by another user warning popup.

Basically, our issue is that we are not able to open windows if window name and path is same in two different projects.

I think this is a bug and you should open a ticket with support to officially report it.

I thought this sounded familiar:

I've created a script in each project named "SAP\_Integration". What I'm seeing is if I have a designer open to the "SAP\_Integration" script in 'ProjectA', and I open a designer for 'ProjectB', it will show the "Concurrent User" icon for the "SAP\_Integration" script in the 'ProjectB' designer. If you open the script it will prompt you with the "Confirm C…
