Hello,  
I am using ignition 8.1.6 on Windows Server. I have alarms set on several tags and they function as normal. I have one tag where the customer wants to get the Value of the tag into the alarm notification. Sounds easy enough, looked it up, the docs say use “{Value}” in the message and all is well.  
Well, all is not well. I have tried: At {eventTime|hh:mm:ss}, alarm “{name}” at “{displayPath}” transitioned to {eventState} with a value of “{Value}”, At {eventTime|hh:mm:ss}, alarm “{name}” at “{displayPath}” transitioned to {eventState} with a value of {Value}, At {eventTime|hh:mm:ss}, alarm “{name}” at “{displayPath}” transitioned to {eventState} with a value of {value}, and At {eventTime|hh:mm:ss}, alarm “{name}” at “{displayPath}” transitioned to {eventState} with a value of {EventValue}.  
And all of them give null for the value. This should be easy, I can find no documentation on this and have spent hours of time wasted on this simple thing. What am I doing wrong?  
Note that I have made sure that no custom message is being passed in and that that the tag is Typed correctly as a Float.  
Thanks for your assistance, Steve
