TS2019/LV2019 Cannot remove project path from LV Action step

Anybody seen this, hopefully with a workaround: +

I'm trying to go back and repoint LV Action/Test steps directly to the target VI instead of pointing to a LV Project then browsing to the LV .VI. 

 

The problem is TS2019 is not allowing this, if I delete the Project path (backspace or delete) then click or tab over to the VI path it is repopulating the Project path. 

 

This is a problem b/c I'm working on a big sequence, converting from LV DEV to LV RTE and need to fix some paths for LV RTE. I do not want to recreate these steps due to time/possiblity of missing a parameter setting. 

 

Any ideas? Seems like a bug to me. See the attached zip for a example of the problem.

I use the same TS/LV 2019 combination and I am able to reconfigure the Action step to directly call the VI instead of through the project.

yeah, i'm finally back on this project. still a problem for me. 

 

in the example I attached it does show the bug for me still, do this: 

 

1. unzip the example

2. open the TOP_SEQ.seq

3. select the first step

4. delete the project path

5. observe that you cannot now browse to the vi location.

every now and then it will work. you can delete the project path and then browse as normal to select the target VI.

Thanks Santhosh, 

 

I am using TestStand 2019f2 32bit, so thats a difference to try and resolve. I'll give a repair a shot.
