"Data point save due to wrong point referenced"
-
I am trying to add data points to a new MangoES and keep getting this message:
When I get the message I have to refresh the page and it's making the process of configuring points quite a hassle.
I'm not working in any other tabs and get this message even when using a private chrome session.Is there any way to avoid or fix this?
Cheers

Jeremy,
Those checks were put in there to handle the 'state saving' feature of Mango where your session retains the last point you were working with ie. on the Data Point Details page or the Data Point Edit view. If you do not have multiple tabs open it's possible there is a bug. I have found a fixed several of these that can arise from the 'Data Source Tools' that are included with various data sources.
What data source are you working with and are you trying to add a point via one of the tools? If not what steps can you provide me with to reproduce this issue?
Thanks,

Hey Terry,
Using the Modbus IP data source.
I just did two quick screen records in quick succession and got the popup both times.

Note that my datasource device was offline the whole time (though I did expect it to come back online at anytime).
I know the video isn't exactly what you'd call reproducible steps but I just wanted to show that I wasn't really doing anything too odd.

Hi Jeremy,
I believe this is a known issue that we should revolve soon. In the meantime If you use the "add data point" button on the Data points tab you shouldn't have a problem adding new points.

Hi Joel
I can do that. Should I avoid using the point test tool entirely?

All the other parts of the Modbus tools work fine, it's only when you try and use the "Add Point" button that the issues occurs.

OK, no worries, thanks!

Ah yes, same bug. I'll make a note of that and re-open it while closing #489.
