So I followed the responses to this post in order to get 70% of what I want.: [POSSIBLE] How to filter history-only tags in the Tag Browse Tree - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum
The above helped me get a tag browser tree component set up to show only nodes beneath the root path that either:
- have history enabled
- have any children
However there are issues I still need to fix with this and I’m not sure how:
- Users need to be able to browse across all providers, and currently my browser doesn’t show anything if I try to just leave a wildcard in the root path field; I can only get results when I specify a provider
- This still includes parent nodes that don’t contain any historical tags (because they DO contain children)
Basically, I want to be able to set up a tag browser tree like the one that’s built into the power chart. That one by default shows all historical providers, so it only shows nodes that contain children with history.
I feel like I’m missing something obvious and that it really shouldn’t be so complicated to make this component do what another component already makes it do.
