Utkarsh, the state files that I used cannot be shared because they 
concern confidential data and the datasets are heavy. Is the state file 
alone without dataset useful for you ?
But I could also try to build a small pvsm test file with test data with 
PV 312 and see what happens when reading with PV 314, and I will send it 
on next Monday.

In fact, it's not really important (for me) if PV 314 proposes to create 
an additional view as you can cancel it.

More annoying is another problem that I discovered with one of my PV 312 
pvsm state files with heavy data sets : PV 314 crashed after selecting 
the state file while loading the data!  I don't know if the crash occurs 
when PV 314 is trying to create an additional view. But the state file 
is for a complex pipeline that should produce a 3D view from full CFD 
data with some surface grids and field cuts in surface mode and some 
surface grids in surface LIC mode, and two spreadsheet views that show 
the data in SurfaceFlow objects. I discovered that PV 314 could read a 
modified state file that was saved by PV 312 after having deleted the 
two spreadsheet views, and I could create again these two spreadsheet 
views within PV 314. If the full state file without dataset is useful 
for you I will sent it on next Monday.

Best regards.
