[Feature-12638] No longer able to convert tag folder to UDT type

As in title, this feature seems to be missing in v8.0 that was available in 7.9.x

Yes, this is a known gap and something we have on the roadmap to reimplement.

This feature is missing in 8.0.2 and is really useful.
Will it be back?

@miketob, I moved your post into the existing thread we have for this.

We are missing the funcionality of creating a data type from a set o selected variables in Ignition 8

In the meantime, I figured out a workaround:

Create a new empty UDT and name it.
In the tag browser tree go to your folder and select all the tags and subfolders it contains.
then, still using the tag browser tree, select your new UDT and paste the tags.

I believe this was fixed with v8.0.3. I upgraded and it is now working.
