Dynamic UDT definition

Hi,

I wanted to a design a dynamic UDT definition. Suppose I have created a UDT definition named as "Master Recipe" and I've created a bunch of tags in it. And now I am creating an instance with that respective UDT (i.e. Master Recipe).

And the instance which I have created, should show only those set of tags which are relevant to it. { Like a number of machines are there and only the respective tags should be visible to that Machine (i.e. UDT Instance), from the Master Recipe (i.e. UDT definition) }

Example -

Instance 1: (MachineA) which has only 6 tags relevant with respective to the UDT and except those 6 tags other tag should be disabled

Instance 2: (MachineB) which has only 3 tags relevant with respective to the UDT and except those 3 tags other tags should be disabled

Is there any way to achieve this

Thank you

Vinay

No, UDTs are not dynamic. For recipes you may want to look into using a dataset to give you flexibility. If you have a base set of tags common to all, you can use that as a parent UDT then create child UDTs that essentially inherit the parent and add on whatever unique tags you need for that UDT.
