Hi,
I’m trying to follow along with the training videos for Ignition 8. The video is recorded with version 7.9, but the steps should be similar to 8.
https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/videos/about-modbus-addressing/8.0
At 40 seconds in, the user opens the drop down menu for the OPC Server tag propert and selects “Ignition OPC-UA Server”, which is the only option. In version 8, I can click on the pencil icon to get a list of available servers. I select “Ignition OPC UA Server” and hit “Commit”, but the OPC Server property box remains blank.
This dialog is just fundamentally broken right now. I know we’ve got a ticket for it somewhere.
Just type the OPC server name in for now. Make sure you realize that it is “Ignition OPC UA Server” on a fresh install and there’s no dash like in the video.

FWIW, the original idea here was that users would select a tag and then it would populate both the OPC Server and OPC Item Path properties.
Unfortunately selecting just a server is broken and this UI is confusing, so we’re going to go back to just having a dropdown list of servers for this.

I’ve been facing this since Ignition 8 was released. Just open the pencil, right click on “Ignition OPC-UA Server” and
then paste it in field and thats’s it

Thank you for your responses. I thought I was doing something wrong.
