MVC module settings tab problem Started By jacoch Hi all. I'm facing a problem with my custom mvc module in DNN 10.1.1 (but it already occured on previous version back to 9.4). My module stores some parameters in ModuleSettings table. So in DNN module parameters dialog, there's an additional tab with my custom settings. That's fine.

I had just wanted to open the DNN project to do some research on a feature. I was about 90 commits behind and attempted to do a pull like you would in this case. It resulted in a fatal timeout error message. I tried troubleshooting that for a while, but ended up deciding it would be faster just to delete it all and close it again. Boy was I wrong! In attempting to do this, I ...	3	988	2	8/10/2023 4:54 PM by Will Strohl
