is what you're after I believe. Needed it for an act I was creating a while back and I didn't get the errors for this particular activity.

Having the same problem; the activity is an ITR.

That got me thinking ... Change the 'Mode' from '0' to '2' in the '.act' file and it works! I have yet to drive the full activity, though.
