Re: [ease-dev] Fault-finding popup help

[Ian Mayo <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that support Christian,
after working through the examples again and again we realised that we
weren't providing unique "id" values for each new "module" extensions.
That resulted in them getting over-written each time.

I hope this helps someone in the future :-)

Thanks again,
Ian
