[BUG] Inconsistent UDT definition creation methods

Ignition

v8.1.18

There are a few quirks when creating tags in UDT definitions.

  1. Pasting tag JSON into a UDT Definition in the Tag Browser (not editor) returns this error:
    Exception: Error importing tags: Only Udt definitions can be imported into the UDT Definitions tab.
  2. Pasting tag JSON into a UDT Definition in the Tag Editor doesn’t do anything - no errors, no tags created, just 2 steps closer to developing RSI :slight_smile:
  3. Pasting copied tags from the Tag Browser into a UDT Definition in the Tag Editor does nothing. See (2).
  4. To paste tag JSON into a UDT Definition, you have to:
    a. Paste the tag JSON into Tags
    b. Copy the new tags
    c. Paste the tags into the UDT Definition in the Tag Browser (not editor, see (3))

It’s almost like you need a cheat sheet to tell you what you can do when and where :roll_eyes:
What I would like to be able to do is to paste tag JSON into the UDT Definition in the tag editor and into a UDT Definition in the tag browser to add new tags.
