Favourite button issue

[YedilethContreras]

Hi,

"PT_FavMgm.pnl" button-function doesn't work when placed on my project's template, but, if I load one of the default templates offered by Wincc OA, it perfectly works.

On my template, the "Favourite Management" window opens, but when trying to add a favourite user view, it always takes "StartPanel" and saves it, no matter what panel is actually being seen at the moment.

When trying to create a favourite view, logviewer shows this message:

WCCOAui (2), 2021.03.18 13:32:52.213, CTRL, SEVERE, 176, Uncaught exception in thread started at main:

And, when trying to open the favourite view previously saved, logviewer shows this message:

Could you please give me any clue/advise about where should I take a look at in my template's project to solve this?

The settings for the favourites are saved in a datapoint called _<User ID>_UiConfiguration at the type _Ui_Config. The datapoint has a lot of string arrays to save data.
Possibly the settings in the element of this datapoint are not correct and therefore you get the "index out of range" error.
