<![CDATA[Meta Data Point does not work with two context points]]>I will start with a simple explanation and add any further detail if needed. I have a Meta Data Source with a point that calculates a very simple difference between two context data points. The script validates during the set up, but the point does not calculate when saved. It works fine if I only use one data point context and a hard number but not two context data points. It does not matter from what other data sources I use, it always fails with two context points. I can have both checked for context, or just one, but still no go. The naming is fine or it wouldn't validate. So I am at a loss with this very simple point.

Any ideas?

Any further info needed?

Thanks in advance.
PS - I also searched this forum for anything, and did not find much.

Version is 3.7.x with all updates completed a few days ago.

I am embarrassed, but you helped me find it with the json. I did not realize I had limits set on the discard values. I new it was something simple. Problem solved. I must have copied this point.
