Im getting a warning

Gui Warning: Avoiding anchor cycle from [ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName] to [ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel]

not too sure whats causing it tho this is how i am anchoring its only occuring when i disable and set Default Anchors
i have this running OnUpdate only when shown too.....

if TMSaved.ImprovedLevel then
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleover, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:SetAnchor(RIGHT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, LEFT, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:SetAnchor(LEFT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, RIGHT, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetHidden(false)                                                                           -- Force Level To Always Show Name Anchors To Lv And NPCs Etc Have Lvs Shown Everything Does As It Should
        else
            -- Default Anchors --------------------------------------------------------------------------
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleover, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetAnchor(RIGHT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, LEFT, -5, 0)     ------ ITS THIS LINE CAUSEIN IT?????
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:SetAnchor(RIGHT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel, LEFT, 0, 0)  
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:SetAnchor(LEFT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, RIGHT, 0, 0)  
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetHidden(false)             
        end

i think it could be because im redefining the anchors and their already defined in the default UI i dont know tho im learning lol

**it seems as long as ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel isnt anchored to ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName everything is fine no error but isnt that the way its anchored default ??

ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetAnchor(RIGHT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, LEFT, -5, 0)

** is everyhting anchored to ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverTextArea would anyone know ? and then eso has just adjusted the x,y to proper places?

any help would be awesome thank you

well this is what ive figured out to fix the error

ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverTextArea, NONE, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverCaption:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetAnchor(TOP, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverTextArea, TOPLEFT, -5, 0) 
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverVeteranIcon:SetAnchor(RIGHT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel, LEFT, -5, 0)  
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:ClearAnchors()
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverRankIcon:SetAnchor(LEFT, ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverName, RIGHT, 5, 0)  
            ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverLevel:SetHidden(false)

but if anyone knows how all the default text gets anchored to the target frame any insight would still be awesome this is more of a workaround to get everything aligned correctly without having the anchor error and to reloading the UI on disable :S

Well, an anchor cycle is when you have x anchored with reference to y, and y anchored with reference to x, at the same time. Maybe you could try clearing all anchors together, then setting them all, rather than clear/set, clear/set?

By default is everything anchored to the ZO_TargetUnitFramereticleoverTextArea:

local unitFrame = ZO_UnitFrames_GetUnitFrame("reticleover")
local textArea = GetControl(unitFrame.frame, "TextArea")
 
if TMSaved.ImprovedLevel then
   unitFrame.levelLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.nameLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.veteranIcon:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.rankIcon:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.captionLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.levelLabel:SetAnchor(TOP, textArea, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.nameLabel:SetAnchor(TOP, unitFrame.levelLabel, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.captionLabel:SetAnchor(TOP, unitFrame.nameLabel, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.veteranIcon:SetAnchor(RIGHT, unitFrame.nameLabel, LEFT, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.rankIcon:SetAnchor(LEFT, unitFrame.nameLabel, RIGHT, 0, 0)
else
   unitFrame.levelLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.nameLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.veteranIcon:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.rankIcon:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.captionLabel:ClearAnchors()
   unitFrame.levelLabel:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, textArea, TOPLEFT, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.nameLabel:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, textArea, TOPLEFT, 0, 0)
   unitFrame.veteranIcon:SetAnchor(TOPRIGHT, textArea, TOPLEFT, -2, -4)
   unitFrame.rankIcon:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, textArea, TOPRIGHT, 2, -4)
   unitFrame.captionLabel:SetAnchor(TOP, textArea, BOTTOM, 0, 1)
end
 
unitFrame.levelLabel:SetHidden(false)

But to be sure, you can store default anchors first:

local unitFrame = ZO_UnitFrames_GetUnitFrame("reticleover")
local textArea = GetControl(unitFrame.frame, "TextArea")
 
local defautAnchors = {
   levelLabel = ZO_Anchor:New():SetFromControlAnchor(unitFrame.levelLabel, 0),
   nameLabel = ZO_Anchor:New():SetFromControlAnchor(unitFrame.nameLabel, 0),
   veteranIcon = ZO_Anchor:New():SetFromControlAnchor(unitFrame.veteranIcon, 0),
   rankIcon = ZO_Anchor:New():SetFromControlAnchor(unitFrame.rankIcon, 0),
   captionLabel = ZO_Anchor:New():SetFromControlAnchor(unitFrame.captionLabel, 0),
}
local improvedAnchors = {
   levelLabel = ZO_Anchor:New(TOP, textArea, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
   nameLabel = ZO_Anchor:New(TOP, unitFrame.levelLabel, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
   veteranIcon = ZO_Anchor:New(RIGHT, unitFrame.nameLabel, LEFT, 0, 0)
   rankIcon = ZO_Anchor:New(LEFT, unitFrame.nameLabel, RIGHT, 0, 0)
   captionLabel = ZO_Anchor:New(TOP, unitFrame.nameLabel, BOTTOM, 0, 0)
}
 
local function SetAnchors(frame, anchorTable)
   for key, anchor in pairs(anchorTable) do
      anchor:Set(frame[key])
   end
end
 
if TMSaved.ImprovedLevel then
   SetAnchors(unitFrame, improvedAnchors)
else
   SetAnchors(unitFrame, defaultAnchors)
end
 
unitFrame.levelLabel:SetHidden(false)
