Resolving Property Editor Issues

"Read Only" error when opening a profile editor
When editing a profile, you may see an error that says: "The connection Stargate cannot be edited here because it is either read-only or it's open in another application."

This error message is generated if you try to edit the active configuration while the dashboard is open. To avoid getting this error message close the Dashboard before trying to edit the active configuration.
