Hi, I have a set of historian-enabled tags whose properties I want to be able to edit at will. More specifically, I want tags to be able to have their historian deadbands and sample times edited.

Is there a way to accomplish this via script or query? Is obtaining a module license a better idea?

Thanks in advance.

Just have your UI read and write to those tag properties. `system.tag.readBlocking()` and `system.tag.writeBlocking()` in your scripts. The tag path would be something like:

```auto
[someProvider]path/to/tag.propNameA
[someProvider]path/to/tag.propNameB

```

et cetera.

I'm not sure what you mean by "obtaining a module license".
