[BUG] Copy of OPC tag does not update data type until tag is restarted

Ignition Early Access
1

(Ignition 8.0.10)

  • Copy an OPC tag of type float
  • Insert the tag and change the data type to ‘String’
  • Apply the changes

Expected behaviour:
The tag start to read the value as String as soon as the change is applied
Current behaviour:
The incoming value is evaluated as float and the tag throws a exception. The tag startes to work when it is manually restartet.

java.lang.ClassCastException: Error trying to coerce 'zyz' to a number.
