Allow multiple instances by default?
Running the latest pycharm community and “allow multiple instances” will no longer save correctly. Every time I restart pycharm, all my projects loose just the “allow multiple instances” in the config and I have go in and recheck it over and over and over and over in 30+ scripts. I don't have any use for this feature, is there a way to just allow them by default?

I couldn't reproduce this behavior on the latest PyCharm release (2023.2.3).
Please check if the problem is reproducible on the latest, and if it is, please collect PyCharm logs with Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data, upload it here: https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ and tell us the upload ID.
Hi Daniil,
Updated to the 2023.2.3, and the issue does seem to be resolved. Did not have to check the checkbox, it was just working as it did in the past. Love the update for F strings as well!
Bumping this again, this is still an on-going but intermittent issue. I can't seem to narrow down what is causing it but I keep having to enable “allow multiple instances”. Is there any way to enable this by default or otherwise disable the multiple instances restriction?
I'm seconding this! For the last few years, I've had issues with the “Allow multiple” setting being undone. I've been regularly updating my PyCharm. For unrelated reasons, I've even needed to reinstall my OS and reinstall Pycharm. This issue persists. It's very annoying. I think it may be related to Git committing, but I'm not sure
I first thought it was related to git as well, but the pycharm project folder is ignored and it's happened between commits.
Mmm, okay. It honestly amazes me that there aren't more people annoyed about this. Does nobody else ever want to run the same script more than once at the same time? Is our use of Python really that niche?
I would agree, I can't speak for everyone, but I'm surprised it defaults on, I'm not sure of a case where I would ever want this. If it was something potentially destructive, I would be coding protections and not relying on an IDE. I write a lot of utility scripts and many I would be running in parallel. For example, I have DB query scripts for tasks that can take extended periods and often I am running many at once.
