My question was already asked but another person but I can not find any answer to the question. For naming consistency in my project, I deleted the ‘default’ tag group and created a few others in its place. When I go to create a new tag i want the default tag group to be different > [@Changing the default tag group](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/changing-the-default-tag-group/36170): > > For naming consistency in my project, I deleted the ‘default’ tag group and created a few others in its place. When I go to create a new tag, it still auto-populates the tag group field as ‘default.’ Is there a way to assign a new default? ---

Um, no. The OP is asking about a default _ **tag group** _. The only project property relating to tags is the default _ **tag provider** _. ---
