Persistent User Data Wizard

When you use the Persisent User Data wizard to persist a file, where are these settings saved in the project?

I set a file to be persisted and it no longer shows in the wizard. However, running the installer does the persist the data file.

Re: Persistent User Data Wizard

Hi,

The setting is saved internally in the component row. If you want to remove it, you can delete your file and add it again. This way it will get a new component without the persistent user data flag.

Re: Persistent User Data Wizard

Thanks, I tried deleting the file, adding it back and then rebuilding but it still persisted the file.

Can I manually edit something to remove the flag?

Also, when I added the file back, it stayed under the same component. Do I need to move it to a new component?

I ran into an issue previously that if the same file was not under the same component, it would be deleted upon updating.

Re: Persistent User Data Wizard

Hi,

The component is removed only if your file is its key member (it has a key overlay icon in Organization page). If it's not the key member, you can try moving it in a new component.
