Have an edge installation that I previously restored a backup on and renamed the tag provider.

Restored the gateway backup again, it now has the default "edge" tag provider name but when I try to change it, it says the provider already exists with this name, but Edge can only have one tag provider.

8.1.27

Something similar was fixed in 8.1.32, I am not sure if it's related.
