Hello team,  
Currently I am working on Ignition Edge [trial version] related to MQTT concepts.[Have installed MQTT related modules also]

I am using a 3rd party[**MQTT.FX**] application for Publishing the Topics.  
By Default when the topic is published it gets stored under MQTT Engine path..

How can i change the Publish path to other location [say **edge**]

**Reason** why i wanted to change the path from MQTT engine to edge:  
Under **MQTT engine** path: There is no option for exporting the Tags which are created.  
[the export option is disabled]

 ![export disabled under MQTT engine](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/0/401ae544f2d782e975c45e25894fd20ae6443d94.jpeg)

Same Tag if its under **edge** Path , i have option to export the tag.

 ![export available under edge](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/6/f645c0edf48685d387bb3b8fdf48376897e9a2d2.jpeg)

Can anyone provide a solution for this!!!!
