Hi,  
I am facing a bug with tag historian module:

- I created historical tag in a folder in UDT definition
- I instantiate it and see it in the sqlth\_te table with a timestamp on "created" column and NULL in "retired" column.

If I delete the **tag** in UDT : its row is updated and "created" column has now a timestamp  
But if I delete any **parent object of the tag** : Nothing is updated and "retired" column is still NULL

It's a bit annoying because there are still tags that don't exist in the tree structure of powerChart component.
