Having an issue in v2 where I cannot adjust the settings of a document after it's been created. This is especially problematic if I need to adjust the color profile of a document or adjust the units it's measured in. I think the issue is caused when using the Persona feature in Affinity and you switch from Pages to Artboards. This function worked fine in v1 and I only started experiencing issues with it once upgrading to v2. Attached shows the "Documents Setup" page when it's bugged and how it should look. Can anyone confirm this is a bug and not something I'm missing in settings with v2?

Publisher v2.0.0 The Problems Make a file in Designer and make sure to use Artboard. Click on 'Document Setup...' in context toolbar and click Units drop-down. A menu of unit appears. In my case, milimeters is chosen. Click Edit in Publisher. In Publisher, there will be "This is an artboard based document..." notice on Pages palette. This is alright. Click on 'Document Setup...' in context toolbar... The 1st indication of a possible problem is that the panel is showing up only on the second mouseclick. The 2nd problem is that, once panel is displayed, Units in the dropdown are listed as: Item 1, Item 2, Item 3. Choosing either entry will keep points as units and always fall back to 'Item 1' when 'Document Setup...' is accessed again. See image. Expected behaviour 'Document Setup...' panel opens on the first click. 'Document setup...' panel displays and applies units consistently to Designer.

After creating a new document in Publisher 2, then creating an artboard in the Designer persona, you can no longer change the Document Units in the Document Setup dialog. The dropdown contains three options called "Item 1", "Item 2" and "Item 3". Selecting any of them makes no difference. If you delete the artboard so the document returns to being a "page", you can again change the document units.
