I really like the tag staging dialogue available when you select "Browse Devices" from the tag browser + menu:
However, this would be super nice to be able to also use to stage manipulations/additions/deletions of tags in the tag browser as well, not just a select few actions (add folder/standard tag).
I would like to be able to move/rename tags, create UDT instances, paste tag JSON in, modify UDT Definitions, etc.
Moving the editing of tags out into a non-modal popup would be nice as well, as currently it appears in the same popup by "sliding" the tag browser out and sliding the tag edit window in - same UX issue as in the changes made to the tag editor in the first versions of v8.
The benefit of being able to stage these changes would be:
- not creating nuisance alarms when duplicating existing tags/UDT instances
- not creating orphaned tag history when duplicating existing tags/UDT instances
- being able to make bulk changes and have these all recorded by the audit log together, rather than separate entries for a potentially large number of changes.
- review changes before accepting them
- I'm sure there are others...
