I got few tags which i would like to change at once rather than changing each tag. how can i create a parameter which can change the tag value source from OPC to memory in multiple tags?

i had mqtt engine tags which i copy pasted into a new instance called sample to make changes in there without effecting mqtt tags. but i want these sample tags to change if theres any change in the mqtt tags. for example if i change the tag value source from OPC to Memory, i want all the tags to change.

if anyone knows how to do this please let me know.  
thanks in advance!

Only UDTs can have bindings on tag general parameters. You'll have to put them all in a UDT.
