How to release constraints for Multigroup in SEMLj

[nopporncu]

I was running the multigroup SEM analysis with jamovi and SEMLj Module follow this link https://towardsdatascience.com/testing- ... 4cace10148

The results showed that metric invariance is not supported. I would like to release the constraint in scalar model, these are some influential parameters to test partial metric invariance.

p24 == p59 (item1)
p26 == p61 (item4)
p31 == p66 (item7)

Please advise me to use syntax box for release constraints.

would you send a .omv file so we can see the whole model?

Thank you

add to your syntax
```
item1~c(a,b)*1

```
and the constraint for item1 intercept is gone. Do the same for the other items for which you want to free the intercept

I can release constraints, SEMlj is the best module for SEM.

Thank you very much
