Hey Forum,

This is my usecase, I want to dynamically create a json and feed it to system.tag.configure(..) afterward.

For example, I need to have a UI that will step one, get the tag type (memory, opc ..) that the user need to add. After that dynamically with the help of ignition, I need to get all "Possible" inputs for a specific tag type in order to propose that to the user.

Is this feasible? 🙂

It doesn't take json. It takes lists of dictionaries, with possible nested dictionaries.

Yes, using [ConfigurationPropertyModel.getApplicableProperties()](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.47/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/config/ConfigurationPropertyModel.html#getApplicableProperties(com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.config.PropertySet)), after retrieving the tag provider's model from the tag provider, which you would get from the gateway context. (The easiest way to get that latter is via `system.util.toolkitCtx()` in my Integration Toolkit.)

There's some sample code in the `providers` script in my Tag Report Utility exchange project that you might find helpful.
