Sensing if the stack/card is open in the IDE?

Post by trenatos » Fri Mar 14, 2014 10:30 pm

Does anyone know of a way to check if the card or stack is open in the IDE vs. compiled?
I have a few timed functions that run automatically every 2 minutes and updates a field, but when I edit groups that doesn't include that field, I get an error as if the field didn't exist.

Check out "the environment" - if it is "development" then it should be open in the IDE.
