When selecting a control circuit outside a project's local directory, the local copy of the control circuit is not used

Tech Note: TN0214
Product: OpenEx
Version: 2.0

Issue

When a control circuit is not located in the project's local RCOCircuits directory and the user must browse outside the local directory, a local copy is created within the project's RCOCircuits folder (this local copy behavior is controlled by a preference within OpenProject). In version 2.0, the control circuit file path seems correct and a local copy is generated, however, the project is still pointing to and using the original browsed version of the circuit. Therefore, changes made to the local copy of the circuit have no effect.

Workaround

Browse to the desired file as normal then reselect the automatically generated local copy of the file from the local RCOCircuits directory.
