Tag providers are not project resources, so you'll need to describe what you need in more details. ---

Hello @pascal.fragnoud , Thank you for your reply. Consider, project name 1 - Test\_1 project name 1 tag provider - default project name 2 - Test\_2 Now i want to fetch the tag provider of Test\_1 from Test\_2. ---

So you mean the tag provider that's configured as the default tag provider for a specific project ? I don't think you can do that. Why do you need that ? What are you trying to do ? ---

Start here: [GatewayContext.getProjectManager()](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.45/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/model/GatewayContext.html#getProjectManager()) (I recommend using my Integration Toolkit module's `system.util.toolkitCtx()` function to obtain the gateway context.) ---

Why not just create tags that hold the name of the project's tag provider? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/8/483e7eafe34eecd5800c9a78edf3370f98948685.png) Any time you need to know, just read the tag of interest. ---

> [@Lynn\_Martineau](#): > > create tags that hold the name of the project's tag provider? How will you make sure that stays correct? Which provider will you put those in? ---

I'd place those in default. The tag provider for a project _ **should** _ be very static. I'm assuming the need for project 1 to know the tag provider for project 2 is to build tag strings `"[%s]tagName" %proj2TagProvider` The Dev Team will need to know how to use those tags and to not mess with the values. _edit: obviously I didn't put them in default in my example screen grab; just made a quick-n-dirty example._
