When I open the “Tag Group Editor”, there are no groups shown.

Clicking on New Tag Group results in an exception.

Note: I found that clicking on All Providers, selecting the provider from the list, and clicking on Tag Group Editor from there allows me to create and modify the Tag Groups.

**Error on opening the Tag Group Editor**

The fact that the default tag group doesn’t exist is where I would like to start troubleshooting this issue. This should be created automatically on initial startup. In your Gateway logs, are there any errors on startup?

Thanks,  
Garth

Do you mean on gateway startup, or when creating a new provider?

I was able to create a new tag provider, and found that it has the default tag group as expected, when selecting from All Providers.

However, I then created a new project, using the new provider as default provider, and again I get the exception and do not see any tag groups.

I see this error in wrapper.log

Thank you for the screenshots. It helped to identify that deleting the Default tag provider is the root cause of this issue. I have opened a ticket.

The workaround for the issue is to add a realtime tag provider named **default** even if it isn’t being used.

Garth - I did not delete the provider. The screen shot is of the same provider, if I select the “tag groups button” while having the project Default tag provider selected, I get the error and no tag groups show up. If I select the _same tag provider_ (“DavidTest3” in the picture) from All Providers, I see the tag groups and don’t get the error.

It seems to be an issue with the IDE.

The issue is that there isn’t a Provider named ‘default’, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is going to be required to have a provider named that. Based on what is shown in the screenshot, your system only knows about:

- DavidTest1
- DavidTest2
- DavidTest3

What is happening is the Designer is assuming (incorrectly) that there is a Tag Provider named ‘default’ when you open Tag Groups from the main ‘Tags’ folder. As you stated, it is an issue with the IDE because it is expecting something that shouldn’t always be true. We are on the same page on what the issue is, I was just describing it based on what causes the issue rather than how it should work. Let me know if you still think I am missing something.

Thanks,  
Garth
