Subpatch output problem

i have a subpatch which has an osc encoder which reads input from processing and stores the input in a spread which outputs to the main patch. the problem is the data is not output at all to the main patch. the subpatch works. i see the spread populate in the inspector. but when i view the inspector of the subpatches node in the main patch the data output is not there. what am i doing wrong?

nevermind, i restarted the program and it worked…

sounds like two IOBoxes with (accidentally) the same descriptive name and one of them not connetcted.
