I exported the tags to an XML file, updated the opcItemPath and opcServer properties. Re-Imported with no errors. Cleaned up any unused tags and tag UDTs. Attempted to export tag to XML and errors. It will export to JSON with no errors.

ERROR message:

[Tag\_XMLExport\_Error\_072720.txt](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/cYrI6GXzTuY50yBQuEtaGcJHWre.txt) (8.8 KB)

I can send the successfully exported JSON if needed.

Below is the Original export of the entire TAG folder
