Meaning of icon in KX Control

Community Support
1

We’ve recently run into an issue whereby some processes and configs have become duplicated in KX Control. We are trying to identify a root cause, the only thing we have to go on at the minute is that they are all tagged with a slightly different icon to usual - with an added square triangle in the bottom corner (attached screenshot shows alternative icon for processes).

 

Does anyone know what that icon signifies? This may help us find a root cause for the duplication. 

Thanks in advance

 

Some additional information:
Deleting a duplicate from one place will also remove it from the other - they appear to be the same entity

There’s nothing to explain this in the revision history for the various processes that suffer from the duplication compared to processes that didn’t

Some duplicates (parameters) are appearing in Unpackaged Entities, while others (processes) just appear in a different package

Hello @nmez9

Thank you for sharing this question with the KX Community. 

Here is some feedback that we received internally: 

It is not a duplication of the entity, but rather just a reference of it in more than one package.

Note the following distinction between open and solid triangles:

The triangle in general implies shared - the open triangle implies that it is shared but not defined in that package, e.g. 

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Leah
