Hi Forum!

I just have a question around creating the capability to provide Historical tags via a custom module.

1. Can folder and tag icons be replaced potentially by custom icons?
2. Can Tags be a container for other tags? i.e. can tags have children of type tag? In the screen shot, could the selected Filler 1 Run folder had been a tag with the child tags contained by it?

I would expect the answer to both questions to be no, based on my knowledge of the SDK. I _might_ be wrong, but that’s my immediate instinct.
