EAM - Can send projects from Agent to Controller but not Tags?

Ignition

Is this right? I can send projects from an Agent back to the Controller, but I can't do the same for tags. I can only send tags from Controller to Agents?

Also, what's the point of the "Target to Controller" checkbox when using the Designer Tag Browser context menu EAM -> Send tags to agents action? It doesn't make sense to me why you would want to send tags from the controller to itself?

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I have a use case where there's multiple duplicated edge gateways connected to a controller, and we also have a copy of the edge project on the controller. All changes to the project will be done on the controller, and a script is run on project save to send the project to the edge agents. However, you have to point the project to one of the remote tag providers from the edge gateways, so if you also add a tag it will be directly in the remote provider. Was hoping to add to my project save script a way to pull the tags from the agent of the selected remote provider and push them to the other agents.
