Modify which master module is used with a variant project
I have two systems that do the exact same function but one is smaller and uses an MD4-5 and the other is larger and uses an MD4-7.
Is it possible to use a variant project to switch the application between the displays? I played around with the variants and it doesn't seem possible to change out master modules in a variant project.

If the system is set up in a multi-master configuration and there is a module that is present in both systems, you should be able to add both displays in the same code and set both of them as "optional". (Assuming that the module present in both systems can be set as non-optional)
I think I'm following what you're saying but you'd probably need another master controller in the system to make it work.
The MD4 is the only master in the system.
When setting the MD4-7 to optional I get an error saying Headmaster optional.
Currently it is not possible to change master module type with variant projects. (you could use variants to change type of expansion module used)
That said, master modules as variants is something we are considering.
I edited the topic and title from questions to ideas.
Curious if there has been any development on this?
How would you propose transitioning from MD4 to MD5, while keeping existing MD4 up-to-date?
Seems as it stands we need to maintain completely separate programs for each. If that is the case, I hope this is a priority now that the MD4 is obsolete.
