Ignition has always exported only properties that differ from that property's default value. Otherwise, exports would be bloated by the many dozens of properties that aren't always used. If you want to obtain the defaults for properties, there are java SDK interfaces that will help you, but do not have formal `system.*` jython APIs. The set of possible properties varies with installed modules, and can vary by tag provider. If you'd like to explore the possibilities, my latest Exchange resource enumerates them for use in the Perspective implementation of the Tag Report Tool: > [@Tag Report Utility](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/tag-report-utility/95299): > > New resource just uploaded to the Exchange (pending review). Also available here: [https://www.automation-pros.com/TagReportUtility/](https://www.automation-pros.com/TagReportUtility/) I intend to publish at this link as well as in the Exchange going forward. Announcements will be in this topic. (: Highlights: Provides a Perspective Popup View that provides a user interface to system.tag.query() that entirely replicates the functionality of the Designer's Tag Report Tool. Provides a Perspective Embedded View that provides Time Span selectio… Look at the library function `exchange.tagReportUtility.providers.getProviderProperties(...)` for the technique required. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/exporting-tags-with-all-properties/95663)._
