Stage unable to parse the job level $PROJDEF for config file

was trying to force a stage to run on a specific node (node map constraint) but was surprised to see a warning adjacent to the Configuration file (stage ----> advanced page)

"Warning: Unable to parse configuration file."

The job has $APT_CONFIG_FILE set to "$PROJDEF"

Should this be a defect as ideally it should understand what $PROJDEF is. When i hard code the config file in the job parameters, it all works fine.

You only get that warning in the data viewer. $PROJDEF can be replaced when the job runs, but (in your version) the data browser does not have that capability.

The job runs fine without a problem but due to it being unable to parse the config file I am unable to select nodes in the node map (freezed out)

Temporarily change the value of $APT_CONFIG_FILE to a real configuration file pathname, adjust your node pool settings, etc., then switch back to $PROJDEF.
