Creating a client tag thru script

[Henk]

Ignition 8.0.12
We try to create a vision client tag in a function by using the function ‘system.tag.configure’, but without any desired result.
Can someone provide us with a small sample script in which this works successfully? We can create standard memory tags with this function.
For example, should the parameter ‘tagGroup’ have a value? This is not necessary with standard memory tags.

Client tags are created from project resources, not as stand-alone entities. They are not part of the infrastructure for gateway tags. I don’t think you can make this work, except possibly with undocumented, likely-to-be-broken-soon SDK interfaces.

It's not possible to load in or create client tags dynamically in 8 (at least, at present) due to the changes in the tag system. Some more info in this thread:

[bug-16241]Ignition 8 - system.tag.importTags to create vision client tags?

Can we use this function system.tag.importTags to create vision client tags ? collisionPolicy = "a" filePath = "d:/test.xml" basePath = "[client]" system.tag.importTags(filePath, basePath, collisionPolicy) return java.lang.NullPointerException (Ignition 8.0.10) Is there any way to create a cision client tag by scripting in Ignition 8 ? system.tag.configure only support gateway tags but not vision clients tag ?

hello Paul,
is there any update about that functionality?
thanks in advance.

No. Frankly, it's a low priority task because few people ask about it. An ideas post (ideas.inductiveautomation.com) would help us gauge community interest in a more impartial way.
