TestStand 2016 freeze when I edit step type property

[Laurent_B]

Here is the issue :

I go in the types window. Then I right click on one step type (NI or custom) and I select Properties... Then TestStand freeze : I can't do anything except kill TestStand

Previously I had no problem. I often edited properties of step types whithout trouble. Today I try to edit NI_Flow_for step type and TestStand freeze.

My collegue has the same behaviour on his PC. We tried to repair or reinstall TestStand 2016 but the issue still remains. One thing which may be important is that we installed TestStand with a custom installer made with the deployment tool.

Any suggestions to solve this issue ?

Hey Laurent, 

What are your type conflict resolution settings under Configure>>Station Options>> File? 

What did you edit about the flow type? Did you directly edit the copy that TestStand ships with or copy it as a template and then make edits? What .ini file is this new type stored in? 

Is there a way to restore to only the default types that TestStand ships with or reinstall TestStand from the official installer rather than the deployment you created?

Some documents I recommend looking at -
