Hi, i just noticed. tags we have defined in another project, gets listed in a new project.  
Is this intended or just a bug?

I ran ignition designer, logged in as admin and created a new project and the old tags is there.

It’s intended, tags are global; they don’t belong to any one project.

That is… a bit not so good if one developes loads of project locally with many different projects…

You can “organize” the tags in different tags providers, and assign each tag provider as default tag provider for each project.
