Dear Community, I am experiencing a strange situation. I have setup a new thing in the PaperUI with simple mode on. I made several changes and activated or deactivated some channels. Somehow, I think certain channels have been disables without my knowledge. However, the real issue is that I can…

The messages received indicate the Items are probably not Linked.
