I use the tag export feature to clone groups of tags, editing the xml to replace the tag name and OPC path. That works very well, except for a small bug. The Metadata “Engineering Limit Enforcement” is not saved in the xml. When I import the modified xml with the new tag group, I have to manually set the enforcement value as needed. This is for Ignition 2.6.3.

Thanks
