I try to generate udt definition and instances with the new json format.  
Udt import is fine, but when I import the file to create udt instances, it’s very long to create only 6 instances ?  
when I create an instance with the designer the gateway is disconnected and it take a very long time…

```auto
ExecutionException: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: Read timed out
	caused by GatewayException: Read timed out
	caused by SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Ignition v8.0.2-rc1 (b2019052016)
Java: Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.3

```

I d’on’t understand what’s going wrong when I create instance ?

Seem to be due to mispelling property enaum value, causing None value...

it seems that some “bad” expression for Ignition 8 take lot of time to be evaluated in the gateway when creating new tags.

We have a tag with an expression coming from 7.9, we need to adapt for 8.0,  
but these “bad” expression take lot of time to be evaluated in the gateway

```auto
// Alarm Priority : Diagnostic(0), Low(1), Medium(2), High(3), Critical(4).
forceQuality(
 binEnc(
  //bit 0 : defautCom
  switch(tag(replace("[default]{PathToTag}","/TS/STATUS","/")+"{qualityPath}"+".Quality"),192,0,1),
  //bit 1 : alarmeInhibe
  {[.]../TC/INHIBER_ALARMES},
  //bit 2 : synthèse alarme faible : Low(1)
  isAlarmActiveFiltered(replace("[default]{PathToTag}*","/TS/STATUS","/TA"), "", "", 1, 1, 0, 1, 0),
  //bit 3 : synthèse alarme moyenne : Medium(2)
  isAlarmActiveFiltered(replace("[default]{PathToTag}*","/TS/STATUS","/TA"), "", "", 2, 2, 0, 1, 0),
  //bit 4 : synthèse alarme majeure : High(3)
  isAlarmActiveFiltered(replace("[default]{PathToTag}*","/TS/STATUS","/TA"), "", "", 3, 3, 0, 1, 0),
  // bit 5 : desactive
  {[.]../TC/DESACTIVER_EQT},
  // bit 6 : mode local
  0,
  // bit 7 : mode manu
  0
 ),
 192
)

```

**Moreover some bad expression in alarms fields seem to be very long to be evaluated.**

I corrected the expression for Ignition 8, but I still have the issue.

UDT def :  
[udt\_TVG\_ENE\_A2401.json](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/acf5c1bb1b5654eb9eb47b6c0a61f96665186651.json) (27.3 KB)

6 instances of this UDT :  
[eqt\_TVG\_ENE\_A2401.json](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/5/50acf25cb33bf29baa86f9d0774bf0e6f3659265.json) (9.3 KB)

The popup **Executing Task** / **Configuring Running tags…**  
is displayed for **more than 1 minute** to create 6 instances…  
the gateway is disconnected and re-connected.

tags.json logger = DEBUG.  
I don’t have any message in the gateway logger.  
is there any other logger to activate to troubleshoot this issue.

Hi @mazeyrat,

I talked with one of the developers and we think that this is the same underlying issue as the bug mentioned in your other post: [[BUG-13990] Ignition 8.0.2-2019-05-09 - designer freeze when creating an UDT instance](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-13990-ignition-8-0-2-2019-05-09-designer-freeze-when-creating-an-udt-instance/24897)

I don’t have a ETA for that ticket, but it is high on our list. I will let you know when its fixed so you can see if that fixes this issue as well.
