How to use VS Code extension in Global scope?

[Zaphod]

We do quite a lot of development in global scope (historical reasons).

I have tested the extension on a scoped app but I am not sure how to use it for Global scope.

What is the proper way of using the extension for Global scope edits?

I have tried this:

1. Now: Activate Now Extension
2. Now: Setup Now Workspace
3. Now: Create Now Project
4. 1. Entered URL, Basic auth, username, password
   2. Wizard is giving me two choices:
   3. 1. Custom Applications
      2. Store Application

What should I select at this point? My intention is to edit Notifications [sysevent_email_action] which have "Global" in the column Application.

Workaround for this is to (sadly) have a blank scoped application lying around specifically for this purpose. Just go into Studio on the instance and create something empty.

Select that app when creating your new project to get past that step and then once the project is successfully created you can use the file search to bring your global records into the scratch folders.

From there you should be golden.

After you select any application of scoped then you can choose a file from global scope and edit it separately. So far this is the option we have for Default Global Scope app.file.
