Sorry to possibly hijack a thread, but we upgraded our production server to 8.1.22 yesterday and very similar errors as what @nminchin is getting later in this thread started showing up in our logs. We are not using EAM. Our errors all seem to be immediately after a Sparkplug edge node rebirths, when MQTT Engine is trying to merge any property changes into the tag:

```

The tags in MQTT Engine that hit this do continue receiving value changes, but stop receiving any property changes (e.g. engUnit, engLow, engHigh) from the edge node.

I have not tried any workarounds yet, but will try manually editing tags like mentioned and let you know how that goes.
