Expression Tags not Updating after Import

Hi,

My first post so be gentle with me.

Ignition Version 7.7.4

I recently made a new instance of a project as a snap shot to show to internal clients, during this process I created a new SQL Tags DB and imported/exported all tags into the new SQL Tags DB so I can continue development on the original version.

I have noticed that a number of the expression tags do not update after this process until I open them, hit apply and then reclose them.

Any suggestions?

Are all the provider and database names the same?

Could you show snippets of the XML from the original export (just for one of the expression tags) versus an export of that tag after fixing it?

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the suggestion, there is a difference in the History Provider which i edited but the original export wraps to another line which appear to be as i have a couple of blank lines in the expression.

Once these are deleted the export looks the same.

I am guessing the import does not like the extra lines.
