Ignition 8.0.3-nightly 2019-05-23  
or Ignition 8.0.2-rc1

@mgross  
When I create with a parameter binding the following xml file is generated

```auto
<Tags MinVersion="8.0.0">
   <Tag name="test2" type="UdtType">
      <Property name="typeId"></Property>
      <Parameters>
         <Property name="param" type="String">val parm1</Property>
      </Parameters>
      <Tags MinVersion="8.0.0">
         <Tag name="New Tag" type="AtomicTag">
            <Property name="value">{bindType=parameter, binding={param}}</Property>
            <Property name="valueSource">memory</Property>
         </Tag>
      </Tags>
   </Tag>
</Tags>

```

If I delete the udt and import the file, the binding is wrong if I edit it in the designer:

Instead of a parameter binding, the text is mentionned :

```auto
{bindType=parameter, binding={param}}

```

@awalker  
Could you please fill a bug ticket for this with a high priority.  
All tag’s binding are wrong after import…

Yeah, that is a legit bug and we have put in a ticket for it. Note that the tag json import does not have the same issue.
