Orphan Components Not Showing in Application Studio

In 2024.2, we are getting warnings of orphan components in our Job Entry and Job Tracker Menus. This of course didn’t happen in 2024.1. I go to application studio to find these orphan components, but nothing shows up under the problems, and I cannot find the orphan components at all when I manually search through all the sections.

The worst part about this is that when I preview in application studio, there is no warning of orphan components. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Why would this only happen in this newest version? Is there a way to just have the application ignore the orphan component warning so this doesn’t constantly show up for my users?

Well, now I can’t remember because I already fixed mine yesterday.

Previously, they added a new panel card and dropped orphans in there on a given form.

This time… I think they added a new area in the “problems” area at the bottom. I think it may have been here:

Just looked, there is nothing there for me.

Crap… i know I had to look around for it too, and can’t remember where it was. I’m looking through random pages now seeing if I can find another one :rofl:

Do you have multiple customized layers? Perhaps they’re orphaned on one and not another??

Just looked at “Help” and that’s where they’re showing they should appear:

You can look up that Help Article:

I looked up that help article, and it was not very helpful to me. The article shows the section showing where orphan components are, but that part does not show up for me.

I do have 2 custom layers in job entry, but neither one of them shows any orphan components. I made sure to check the base layer too, and that had no orphan components either.

I’m having the same issue on Job Closing Entry. Getting the error message but we do not see any Orphaned components in Application Studio.

Here is the PRB for this issue PRB0290846

We are seeing this in Job Entry after this weekends upgrade to 2024.2.10,

Do you know if that PRB is still open, I searched for it but did not find

It looks like it is still open. The status is ‘In Release Planning’ and has a note “Issue has been prioritized and is available for engineering. Will be picked up based on priority and as capacity allows.” I’ve been able to click around the error. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Yep it looks like the issue came back up again for us at least. Hopefully they fix this problem because it is really annoying.

EDIT: I think I found a workaround. All I did was just save and commit the same exact layer, then published the unedited layer. This seemed to have solved the issue of the orphan component warning coming up.

I have been struggling with this issue since the 2024.2.10 release. That fixed the issue!
