Version:8.3.4

My alarm status component is not filtering correctly the alarms based on the entered search term.

Below is the tag that I would like filtered out when I enter “B2”. I don’t see “B2” anywhere on its configuration, so I am unsure why it is being displayed when I type “B2” as the search term

```python
{
  "name": "FT4_RMBV",
  "tagType": "Folder",
  "tags": [
    {
      "alarms": [
        {
          "label": "A2- TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV Fault",
          "name": "A2- TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV Fault",
          "setpointA": 1.0
        }
      ],
      "dataType": "Boolean",
      "documentation": "TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV",
      "formatString": "",
      "name": "Flt",
      "opcItemPath": "[FOSA]1.C54",
      "opcServer": "Ignition OPC UA Server",
      "readOnly": true,
      "tagType": "AtomicTag",
      "valueSource": "opc"
    },
    {
      "dataType": "Int4",
      "documentation": "TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV Status",
      "formatString": "",
      "name": "MBV_Status",
      "opcItemPath": "[FOSA]1.HRF56",
      "opcServer": "Ignition OPC UA Server",
      "readOnly": true,
      "tagType": "AtomicTag",
      "valueSource": "opc"
    },
    {
      "dataType": "Boolean",
      "documentation": "TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV Open Command",
      "formatString": "",
      "name": "Open_Cmd",
      "opcItemPath": "[FOSA]1.C64",
      "opcServer": "Ignition OPC UA Server",
      "readOnly": true,
      "tagType": "AtomicTag",
      "valueSource": "opc"
    }
  ]
}

```

Thank you:)

I cleared the "A2- TSV-FOR-4 Return MBV Fault" alarm in the device and then triggered it again and entered the “b2” search string and now the alarm is being filtered out. I did absolutely nothing else, so I am unsure why the filtering works now.

I think I know what this was. I am simulating Modbus devices to test this and I went from one IP address to another for the device that was triggering this alarm.
