Issue Details

When I modify the TestStand Offline Results Processing Utility inbox path from Configure>>Result Processing>>Offline Results File (wrench)>>Open Offline Result Processing Utility, save it, and close everything, when going back to the Results Processing Utility, the inbox path is reverted to its original value. 

To replicate this: 

1.) Open the TestStand Offline Results Processing Utility by Configure>>Result Processing>>Offline Results File (wrench)>>Open Offline Result Processing Utility.

2.) Pause the current running profile. (NewProfile).

3.) Edit the Inbox path to "C:\ProcessedXML".

4.) Re-activate the Profile.

5.) Close out the TestStand offline results processing utility.

6.) Re-open and verify that the Inbox path has been updated. (It has NOT been updated.)

 

Solution

Opening in other ways could save the path: 

Following the same steps mentioned to change the path, but when closing the Offline Results Processing Utility, in the next window, instead of selecting the "Ok" button, select the "Cancel" button

2. Instead of opening the utility from Configure>>Result Processing, open it from Tools>>Offline Results Processing Utility. This will save any changes.
