I have a project that I am hoping to easily convert to reference another tag provider from the original. When creating the project, basically all bindings and script references have the [default] tag path included. Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this quickly? I am not sure if find and replace will work on the components that have change scripts or event scripts?

I have since learned that this is unnecessary to specify the default tag provider in the tag paths. (Except possibly for gateway scoped scripts?) However it is a little late for that, and it seems to be a manual process to update the tag reference by deleting the tag provider after selecting from the tag browser.

I would export the tags in a .json file and then perform the Find/Replace in that file and then import that file back into tags.
