Hi Dian, thanks for responding! No, I haven't tried, but I'm aware of it. I don't work exclusively on PyFlink, but rather just occasionally. So instead of having a whole separate IDE and project for one module I'm trying to get the whole Flink project to work as one in IntelliJ. Do PyFlink developers generally work solely on PyFlink and nothing else / do you switch IDEs for everything?
