I’m used to work with Ignition 7.9.X and I’m now starting a totally new project for a new customer using 8.0.1. Usually, when I need to get the highest priority alarms on a UDT Tag, I do a max() function on the different AlertCurrentSeverity property of each tags but why is this property not available in Ignition 8. ![10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/3/3b2a818b3183043779aed70eb3c334c41589f7bb.png) versus ![Ignition%208](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/6/659c1fc35014cd874aa34bec2cc782372e453734.png) ? Could someone explain to me how I can manage to get the highest priority active alarm of a UDT tag with Ignition 8 please. ---

These properties are currently absent, but a fix is already in place - it is already in the nightly builds, and will be in 8.0.3 once it’s available.
