Version: *1.8.11 SDK 1.7.2
Frequency: Consistently
Severity: *Low
(Low - quality of life, workflow optimization, rare enough to not impact production, etc…
High - critical but workarounds are available, important feature not working as expected, frequent enough to impact production
Blocker - prevents from working on the project, prevents from releasing the product)
Marketplace package name: if applicable
Context: What package? When editing or mounted from Community? In main menu or in flight? etc…

Bug description:
Release notes for 1.8.11 have added a MinVoltage to circuits.
I assume the following - part of new version 2.4 (edit: guess since power min voltage, then can be any ver 2)
Can be added to Circuit line - as #MinVoltage:6 #Voltage:20
Can be part of ConsumerCfg and added in a similar fashion to that line as #MinVoltage:6 #Voltage:20
Now just noticed in testing this and going from legacy Electrical to modular using simObject editor that the Power (legacy) variable in circuit line remains when the version major is changed to 2, and any version minor. I believe this should be removed?
this is what I get after modding a systems.cfg:

No errors in build - is that ok? I would have expected an “Incompatible variable error - Power - systems.cfg”. There is no “fail” in sim build or red error.
EDIT: minor point SimObject Editor sets as “Minvoltage” and not “MinVoltage”
EDIT2: missing/ wrong placement in consumer in SimObject editor.
