Description Mario Krizic CLA 2020-07-10 09:15:38 EDT 
When opening an application where the typelibrary is missing a custom FB it deletes the type information from the sys file. In order to restore the project correctly I need to add the missing type and then copying the old sys file from a backup or add the type information manually. It's not possible to change the type in the application so this is the only way since a system import does not include the custom types in the project library in my case (I don't know whether that is the correct behaviour). Please notify me that a type is missing and optionally let me set it to the correct one before simply deleting the information.

Hi yes this situation is rather annoying. In the development branch we did some work to make this easier. But there is definitely more work needed here. I thought that at least the type name is preserved during saving but it looks I'm wrong here. 

But there is another point that concerns me more is how you are getting into this situation. If I read your message correctly you are using the IEC 61499 system import feature of 4diac IDE 1.12.2. Please don't use this to import existing 4diac projects. This feature is unfortunately not very reliable. Therefore we have removed it in the development branch and it will be gone from 1.13.0 on. 

If you want to import an existing 4diac IDE project please use the import existing project into workspace feature in the general import section (see attached screenshot). This will preserve all your types and project settings. And I hope it will make your live with 4diac IDE easier.

Hi I have tried importing using the import existing project into workspace feature, but the entire application was somehow missing in the System Explorer. 

When importing from an archive I had two projects open, one normal and the other added the suffix expanded. When I try reimporting again sometime in the near future I will provide you with screenshots.

In that case I would really like to see your log file. It sounds that there is some bigger issue in your project. We did quite some fixes in the development branch to make 4diac IDE more gracefully handle such situations. But I don't think that the nightly build version of 4diac IDE is already ready for your use.

With all the work that went into error marker FBs I would close this issue for now. missing types are now preserved in applications, typed subapps and CFBs.
