I'm trying to manually override a solution deployment version, but changes are not taking effect. I am editing the properties of the main start up project and trying to change the version from 2.1.6 to 2.1.7.. After making the changes, the properties revert back to 2.1.6 and that 2.1.6 is also shown in the deployment window before publishing. I am need to override because 2.1.6 is already on the OMC.

Update: I've been able to override Version numbers in the past (hence creating the 2.1.6 version). I am using Visual Studio 2015 Professional with Pega Plugin version 8.0.1030

Final Edit:

Need to hit enter for changes to write to the properties window.
