When you create a new project, you set up a default tag provider. Is it possible to bind a property to that tag provider?

I am wanting to bind a filter property on the alarm status table to the default tag provider. I am wanting to execute the binding in the parent project so that the filter is applied in the child projects based on the default tag provider that was selected.

I was expecting the the default tag provider to be a native session or page property, similar to the project name, etc. But, I am not seeing that option. Any tips or alternate approaches would be much appreciated.

Couldn’t you make a string tag and pass in the name of a provider when needed? Then in the child projects you bind the alarm status table Provider property to the tag.
