KNOWN ISSUES The following is a list of known software issues found in GUI Configurator Version 1.3.0 Issue (originated in v1.1.1) Build Error when side buttons share the same button ID on export file to GC3 A build error will occur when side buttons share the same ID after exporting the file to GC3. The workaround is to set the side buttons with their own unique button IDs.

The workaround is to close some projects before a panel upload when those projects are not needed. Page 2
