If you run SAS Model Studio in SAS^® Viya^® 3.5 and modify a project name within SAS Environment Manager, the following error might occur within SAS Model Studio when you open the project (or open a new project with the original name):

This issue occurs because the underlying folders service does not correctly process update events that transpired in SAS Environment Manager. You encounter this issue if you run any of the following three types of projects within SAS Model Studio:

• Data Mining - SAS^® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning
• Forecasting - SAS^® Visual Forecasting
• Text Analytics - SAS^® Visual Text Analytics

The workaround for this is to change the name of a project only within SAS Model Studio (rather than within SAS Environment Manager).
