**Ignition 8.0.14**  
@ggross  
I have a tag with an alarm.  
When the alarm is Active, IsActive propertie of the alarm is ok but all properties Alarms.\* for the tag are not updated, (see “Défaut.IsActive”)

see example:

As a side note, if a disable/enable the alarm, properties are then updated

@mazeyrat,

I have been attempting to replicate this internally, and seems like I am having issues again. I have your tags export from before and have made the specific tag you are referring to. The only thing on the tag that I have changed is the expression on if the alarm is enabled as I don’t have everything needed for the original expression.

What I have done to attempt to replicate:

1. Created a new Programmable Device Simulator with the following Custom Program: [MyDevice.csv](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/6W42GzDngp8GInvBRYZkqMUBfaN.csv) (539 Bytes)
2. Imported the following UDT & Tags: [alarmIssueTest.json.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/imT1CoJEkewNMCxQtI34XANkKD6.zip) (329.8 KB)
3. Ran the following from the script console changing the value in line 28 when writing to device to trigger the alarms: [Update.py](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/gmn3tmx95Mwt8mMtAsfdDamBPNt.py) (2.9 KB)

Any help in narrowing down what might be happening would be appreciated.

Garth

I have the issue immediatly after the gateway is restarted.  
If I disable/enable the alarm with the tag binded to the path/to/tag/Alarms/myAlarm.enabled all the alarms properties are well updated.

This sounds very similar to the issue reported in your post here:

> [@\[BUG - 15580\] 8.0.7-nightly : alarm label with tag function in expression bad evaluated](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-15580-8-0-7-nightly-alarm-label-with-tag-function-in-expression-bad-evaluated/30317):
>
> Ignition 8.0.7-nightly (27nov) @Paul.Scott, @mgross I have alarm with this expression for the Label: tag(concat("[default]",{itemPath},".tooltip")) The label displayed in the designer and in the alarm’s component is wrong (default is used) If I change the expression to display the tagPath calculated in order to check it, it’s ok. concat("[default]",{itemPath},".tooltip") The issue seem to be related to the usage of tag function in this context

It should be fixed in the nightly release, although I wasn't seeing the issue on Gateway restart even on 8.0.14 with the files I supplied to you.
