[BUG] Imported tag quality showing as Bad_Disabled when Enabled

Ignition

v8.1.5

I’ve imported a whole bunch of tags from another gateway into a new gateway and having lots of issues…
Lots of UDT instances have imported and their tags are showing as Bad_Disabled when in fact they’re enabled… If I overwrite them to disabled and then remove the override they come good. In the past i’ve seen this before and I could just do a tag restart which would force them to read properly, but not this time :confused: I should have budgeted a lot more for this upgrade… I have similar issues with bindings becoming “stuck” with old values as well…

I tried deleting some of the tags and re-importing back in, but no change.
The only way I found to get this unstuck and enabled was to disable the root UDT instance and re-enable it (e.g. “Common”). Time to write a script…

In case it helps anyone else:

'''
This will collect all root (non-nested) UDT Instance tag paths and disable and re-enable those that aren't already disabled.
This will fix "stuck" tags part of UDT instances that won't come good.

# sort it alphabetically so we can remove nested UDT instances efficiently
UDTI_TagPaths = sorted(UDTI_TagPaths)

# loop through all UDT instance tag paths and add them into a new list if any item in the new list isn't in each of the tag paths.
# this effectively checks if the tag path is nested within any of the other tag paths already added to the new list.
### remove this for loop if you want to process ALL UDT instances, nested or not. ###

# get just disabled status values.

# create a list of the UDT instance enabled tag paths
UDTI_Root_EnableTagPaths = ['{}.Enabled'.format(tag) for tag in UDTI_Root_TagPaths_NotDisabled]

# finally, disable them and re-enable them
print 'Disabling all UDT instances...'

loopCount = int(math.ceil(1.0*len(UDTI_Root_EnableTagPaths)/tagWriteGroupSize))
totalSize = len(UDTI_Root_EnableTagPaths)
print 'Enabling UDT instances slowly in groups of ', tagWriteGroupSize
for index in range(loopCount):
	firstIndex = tagWriteGroupSize*index
	lastIndex = tagWriteGroupSize*(index+1)
	if lastIndex > totalSize: lastIndex = totalSize
	print 'Writing tag indexes: ',firstIndex, '->', lastIndex-1
	system.tag.writeBlocking(UDTI_Root_EnableTagPaths[firstIndex:lastIndex], [True]*len(UDTI_Root_EnableTagPaths[firstIndex:lastIndex]))
	time.sleep(tagWriteDelaySecs)

and this script to check if there are any remaining tags that are Bad_Disabled which are in fact Enabled:

'''
This will check to see if there are any tags that are "stuck" with a Bad_Disabled quality when the tag is enabled.
