    Right... that's what I meant.  In that different project, are you using "\\USEUNIT" or "import".  I think, technically, it should work either way but I believe that there may be some issue with some of the parsing with the "import" methodology.

It depends, somewhat, on how you are linking the files, I believe.  What code language are you writing your scripts in? Is the other instance running the exact same project you are or is this a different project?

The test scripts are written in JavaScript.

There is a project on which the navigation works.

There is a different project where the navigation does not work.

 

The configuration displayed in the attached image was made.

      The project uses the Import Functions in the context of the Script.

      Also, in the header of the script  there are require () statements, and the functions are exported from the script and made accessible to other scripts.

      The call works, code compiles and runs, but only the instance that contains the functions displays the highlight, but not the function.

        And the project that works... is it using the same method or is it using "\\USEUNIT"?
