Hi David Thank you for the response, I thought that I was doing something wrong. I mean it's documented and I followed the docs as close as possible to write my scripts but there's literally no mention about how to solve this external/ internal project setup in the official docs.
I saw some things online but I honestly it seemed overly complicated and really prone to breaking. I'll edit my project to make them all external projects and work from that angle.
