I created a UDT and some default alarm configurations. I’m unable to override the alarm configuration in the instance tag…it’s grayed out. Is there a setting I’m overlooking? Is it even possible? Thank you. ---

Click the little dot to the left of the alarm, this will allow you to override it. ---

HA! Can’t believe I never noticed the dot…I’ve done that load of times on tag properties, I guess I was expecting to see the dot to the left of the property value. Thanks Daniel!
