Hi, I’m searching a script who can create multiple client tags, but i didn’t find anything. Have you any ideas for how can I do this? Thanks, Best, Charles ANDRE ---

I would create a tag, export, then use this as a template to create multiple, then import. [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Exporting+and+Importing+Tags](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Exporting+and+Importing+Tags) Edit, I know you mentioned script, but just making sure you are aware you can import/export. ---

system.tag.configure doesn’t work on “[Client]Tags/MyTag”, i’m searching to add tags into this path 😕 ---

My mistake. For some reason I thought it did. ---

`importTags` and `loadFromFile` and other import related functionality doesn't work for Vision Client tags: > [@\[bug-16241\]Ignition 8 - system.tag.importTags to create vision client tags?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-16241-ignition-8-system-tag-importtags-to-create-vision-client-tags/33405): > > Can we use this function system.tag.importTags to create vision client tags ? collisionPolicy = "a" filePath = "d:/test.xml" basePath = "[client]" system.tag.importTags(filePath, basePath, collisionPolicy) return java.lang.NullPointerException (Ignition 8.0.10) Is there any way to create a cision client tag by scripting in Ignition 8 ? system.tag.configure only support gateway tags but not vision clients tag ? Unfortunately, I don't know of any good workarounds. ---

Not sure, but you can import/export client tags. I do it all of the time. ---

Hi, Do you have scripts / tasks to follow for this manipulation? I tried in script but I have “user rights” errors, with an administrator account containing all the rights, see below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/b/0b1ed7a6f5e013d8721ac6d80c052987993d79e4.png) with the following script: `system.tag.addTag(parentPath='[Client]Tags', name="TagMemory", tagType="MEMORY", dataType="Int2", value=25)` Thanks ---

I was referring to using import/export, not scripts.
