Just opened up an existing project to make some modifications. Tried to add new tags to existing tag folders but all the tags I want to add appear in the OPC browser panel as folders not tags.

Anyone else seen this behavior and have a solution?

Depends entirely on driver and/or OPC server brand. Some support arrays and/or complex objects as single subscribe-able items, some do not. Share more details.

What version of Ignition are you using?

This sounds like an old bug - try restarting the OPC UA module and see if you can browse after that.
