The tag property .AlertCurrentState is not updated when a new alarm occurs. It will be updated when the alarm is acked though. I noticed this when upgrading from 7.5.10 to 7.6.3. My project’s screen icons that used this property to show alarms stopped working after the upgrade.

It’s baaaaack! 😢

This exact same issue is occurring in version 7.7.5 for us. AlertCurrentState is always None until the alarm is acknowledged.
