Automation Professionals is pleased to announce new **Production Releases** of this module with the following new [utility functions](https://www.automation-pros.com/toolkit/doc/utility.html#runinclient):

- `system.tag.defineToolkitProp()`
- `system.tag.removeToolkitProp()`

For Ignition v8.3: [v2.1.5.261812214](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.5.261812214-v83.modl)

For Ignition v8.1: [v2.1.5.261812141](https://www.automation-pros.com/ignition/Integration%20Toolkit-2.1.5.261812141-v81.modl)

The `defineToolkitProp()` function is intended to be called from a gateway startup event, once for each custom property the user wants to make available in the designer tag editor (with datatype predefined, optional default value, and other metadata). Unfortunately, the category must be a bundle key (for non-obvious reasons) and there is no runtime mechanism for adding bundle keys.  
☹

The `removeToolkitProp()` function is intended to be called by a designer (indirectly via `@RunInGateway`) during development of infrastructure that uses this feature.

The default category name is supplied by this module's main bundle.

An enhanced Spreadsheet Import Tool is ~~coming~~ [available](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/spreadsheet-import-tool/93500/49) that takes advantage of this new feature.
