8.3 OPC-UA Quick Client ? any alternative for now?

Ignition 8.3 Early Access
1

So I upgraded to Ignition 8.3.
Gateway webserver is a lot more complex to navigate than 8.1… i guess I just need to pass the learning curve.
But I did saw that there is no OPC-UA Quick Client. even when it is pretty simple and rudimentary, it is more than enough to troubleshoot new connections.

Do we know when it is coming back (if so) into 8.3?
or what alternatives do we have to test?

Tag Browsing on 8.1 to actual values was kind of a pain, but you could also see values there, i have not seen that in 8.3, I can see the Tag Providers but cannot browse/navigate into them as in 8.1.
Maybe you can navigate but have to setup something different in OPC permissions?

right now I have AuthenticatedUser to have all permissions…

The OPC Quick Client should come back in Ignition 8.3.1 or 8.3.2.

The closest alternative is the View > OPC Browser panel in the Designer, but it really only let's you browse. To read or write you have to drag the tag into the Tag Browser.

Thank you, hope this comes out soon
