Another issue found with PropertySets saved to the Project Info file while converting from FinalBuilder 5 to v6.

In our latest conversion, we have a FinalBuilder project that we use to build many different web services.&nbsp; At the beginning of the script, the user selects a project name with is stored in a variable name %WS\_NAME%.

We use that variable throughout the script.&nbsp; We define a PropertySet with its name equal to the value of that variable.&nbsp; We save that PropertySet after some values are changed.

When the PropertySet is saved, it is saved with a name of %WS\_NAME% instead of its value (which should be something like MES.Inventory or ToolService.)

Here's an example (the variable %WS\_NAME% holds the value "MES.GetInventory" in this case):

&nbsp;101

Hi Dale   
  
 I just checked in a fix for this, will post here when a build is available with a fix. The cause was simply that we never imagined users defining property set names with variables.
