There is no tool for importing tags definitions from Siemens STEP7/TIA to Ignition, which is a shame…
I’ve been struggling with that for years and the ‘fastest’ way is to write a script for it yourself.

At least with TIA now you can copy/paste tags table directly into Excel, delete the rows you don’t need and export to UTF-8 .csv.
Then with the script inside the Script console, you can import that .csv.
Of course, it requires some time and effort but it’s still way faster than manually adding thousand’s of tags…
