I’m trying to develop a config page for my module and so far I’ve learned that I need to extrend a “ConfigPanel” class. However I’m having issues importing it. Does anyone know which dependencies I should have on my Build.gradle.kts? This is the import i’m trying to do

`import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.web.models.ConfigPanel;`

You probably want to extend `RecordEditForm`, not `ConfigPanel`.

Consider cribbing heavily from the 8.1 example module (that's what it's for):

Thank you Paul! I’m trying to use the example and learn but I’m having a few issues with imports. This one mainly: `import com.inductiveautomation.ignition.examples.hce.records.HCSettingsRecord; `

isn’t working for some reason.

Replace `HCSettingsRecord` with your own `PersistentRecord` implementation from your module.
