The predefined category keys are defined as constants in [WellKnownTagProps](https://sdk.inductiveautomation.com/javadoc/ignition83/8.3.7/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/tags/config/properties/WellKnownTagProps.html) as `CAT_*`. Only those will get an icon in the tag editor tree. Additional strings are defined in bundles by 3rd party modules, and my toolkit supplies a couple. Any other keys used for tag prop categories display with question marks. ---

Raw localized strings (key-less) crash the tag editor. Blank tree, blank list of props, no error thrown. ā˜¹ Raw localized strings are fine for display name and description. (And the only practical way to provide those outside of a 3rd party module.) ---

Automation Professionals is pleased to announce new **Production** releases of this module, with bug fixes to address anomalies in the designer tag browser, discussed over here: > [@Bad\_NotFound in tag properties](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bad-notfound-in-tag-properties/116626): > > Ignition 8.3.8 , docker environment Hi everyone, When adding any tag from the Siemens S7-1500 PLC field, whether in an OPC-UA connection with a Siemens server or with the new Siemens Enhanced driver, the tag is connected correctly. I read the correct value, but if I expand the tag and view the internal properties, these tags are in Bad\_NotFound. I haven't found anything regarding the functionality. I've tested various tag types, including DTL float arrays, and I get the same error. I repeat, iā€¦ For Ignition v8.3.x: [v2.1.6.262181311](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.6.262181311-v83.modl) For Ignition v8.1.x: [v2.1.6.262171502](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.6.262171502-v81.modl) The tag browser issues do not appear to be other than cosmetic, so upgrading is not urgent. Edit: v8.3 replaced with minor fix to `@runInGateway` permissions. ---

> [@nminchin](#): > > pageVarMap I'm running into something similar to this on a 8.3.8 Gateway and version 2.1.6 of Integration Toolkit. The difference I'm getting is that the expression using this function is giving me an error and not returning a value. The error is citing the `pageVarMap` function specifically.

Haven't been able to reproduce with v8.3.8 yet. Unknown function suggests a problem registering at module startup. Can you send a wrapper log from gateway startup through RUNNING? (To my support email, please.) ---

Hmmm. My toolkit declares a dependency on Perspective, to make it possible to reference its classes for the thread locals. I need to experiment some more. ---

I'll make it more fun, all the tags listed in the log that I've found are OPC or Memory tags, unless someone made one instance an expression tag somewhere that I missed and that's what is tripping up the module. If I had the full tag path in the log that would make it easier to nail down which one exactly it is. I looked at the raw JSON of each tag in the log that I could find to make sure there wasn't a leftover expression from someone changing the type of tag. ---

So, I installed this module to try to take advantage of the Tag Actors functionality to republish some value from one device to another. What I noticed though is that there's an `opcServer` parameter that gets added to every tag which seems to possibly conflict with my own 'OPCServer' parameter that we have on all our OPC tags. What is this used for? I've got this value configured on all my tags and while right now the value hasn't been changed, I worry that it may get set by some configuration of the tag actors functionality if I'm ever using a different OPC server for the republish than I am for my tag. I also didn't see anything in the documentation about it, so was curious if this written to by the module or what the risk is in using the module and conflicting with all of our tags existing parameters. ---

My module _uses_ the `opcServer` prop definition to obtain its acceptable value list for use with the destination OPC Server fields that the tag actors need. Should not change its appearance for other uses. ---

So it's it ok for me to write to it, or is there a chance it will get overwritten by the module? ---

Automation Professionals is pleased to announce a **BETA** of this module, with a single new feature: a [Read Substitution Tag Action](https://www.automation-pros.com/toolkit/doc/actors.html#read-substitution-action). For Ignition v8.3.\*: ~~v2.1.7.262731920~~ I anticipate backporting this to v8.1 ~~in the near future~~. _Done_ The primary motivation for this feature is to help make clean history for users that have to handle bad quality when machines are turned off or otherwise cease communicating for expected reasons. ---

Alternate **BETA** over here: > [@Spreadsheet Import Tool](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/spreadsheet-import-tool/93500/58): > > It's a module loading race with tag provider startup. Try this BETA: [https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.8.262791318-v83.modl](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.8.262791318-v83.modl) (I haven't reproduced this--I need affected users to test for me...) It seems that the gateway hook's configureFunctionFactory is being called on a thread with a different classloader from the gateway hook. To attempt to address the missing Perspective functions, apparently due to races with tag providers. ---
