Method error after adding additional channels

We recently added two additional channels to our STARlet system and the previous methods we developed no longer work due to the method expecting being developed for 6 channels and the system now has 8. Looking for some guidance on how to update the method to be compatible with 8 channels.

I updated the number of channels to 8 in the system configuration editor hoping that was the issue but still receive the following message when I run my method developed for 6 channels. How do I update the expected number of channels for the method?

I’m also receiving this error when I update the number of channels in the system configuration editor, but the new value seems to be saved. Any idea what could be causing this as well?

You’ll need to go through the method(s) and for any instrument step - tip pickup, aspirate, dispense, tip eject, open the command and select Ok to close it. It would then update the number of channels to what you set in the system configuration editor.

In the method view, you’ll see the command change from Channel (1…6): 111111 to the following:
