Hello,
thanks for forwarding the question.

To illustrate the problem, if you look at the Board and IP Settings dialog in QPP, the confusing point is that IP related settings are stored differently. While the blue one is stored in .qsf

set_global_assignment -name PROJECT_IP_REGENERATION_POLICY NEVER_REGENERATE_IP

the red one is stored in quartus2.ini

[General 22.4_pro]
HDL_PREFERENCE = VHDL
...
MANAGED_FLOW_HDL_PREFERENCE = VHDL

In QPS, we at least have the option to rewrite the global setting by a "set_user_option" tcl command, but this doesn't seem to work for QPP. Perhaps someone has already found a solution.

Regards,
Frank
