Hello, I had an issue with UDTs I haven't found before I'd like to create a UDT parameter, and depending on the parameter name, the tag names inside of the UDT will change. For example, if the parameter was "MT05" the name of the tag would change to something like "MT05\_status" and "MT05\_Count". I don't know if this is possible. Everywhere I looked says no, but I figured a confirmation would be nice. We're sending these tags to a different software through an azure IoT server, and they're filtering these tags by their names, so that's what sparked the dynamic names. ---

> [@sjjones](#): > > if this is possible Not. The tag names and folder names within a UDT are fixed by the definition. At most, you can disable instance members at runtime that don't match your specific requirements. ---
