I’m on 8.1.1

I have a Gateway Events Tag Change that i use \*ticks\_when\_initialized as Tag Path.

My event is fired correctly but newValue.getValue() return None and event.getTagPath() return \*ticks\_when\_initialized instead of the real tag path.

I want to be able to use a wildcard and be able to get the path and the value of the tag that is fired the event.

```auto
_Functions.resetConfigInfo(str(event.getTagPath()), newValue.getValue())

```

`*ticks_when_initialized` isn’t a valid wildcard subscription path. The wildcard is only valid as the last component, e.g. `Foo/Bar/*`.

I think the only bug here might be that you received any events at all…
