Is there a way to find tags that aren’t associated with a project any longer? We’ve removed defunct projects but we haven’t been very consistent with tag organization over the years. I’m now certain that we have a fair number of tags that are no longer associated with any project at all. I’d like to…

While we probably should have some kind of tooling to aid this by now… we don’t. Mostly because it’s difficult, if not impossible, to tell you with certainty a tag is no longer used because many times the only reference to a tag will be through a dynamic tag path either in scripting or as part of a…

A tool like this would be great. I’ve imported tags from other projects but pulled way more tags than needed for what I am doing. Would be great to auto-clean tags that are unused.

That could be very difficult considering the existence of Driven Tag groups. Driven Tags can be scanned on-demand, so it's possible that a legitimate, used tag could have a value that hasn't been updated in days, weeks, months, etc. simply because the driving expression on its' group hasn't triggere…

Agreed; it would be up to the programmer to verify. Last read would provide more information than nothing. However, IA has given us a better tool for this now, so we're no longer comparing to nothing: [image] Tag Reference Tracker Ignition Early Access Intro At ICC, we ann…
