If a NumericEntryField is tied to an OPC tag with a bidirectional tag binding (indirect in this case), is the tag write suppose to be recorded to the audit log when a user changes the value? I am only seeing tag write changes for memory tags.

Found the issue. The OPC tags were a red herring. The 'ORIGINATING\_SYSTEM' column was getting maxed out causing a java exception. I altered the column from nvarchar(255) to nvarchar(max) which fixed the issue.
