Hi I have several vision windows and there is a small icon in the top left corner of a couple of them indicating that there is a bad tag. Is there a quick way to find the component which has a broken or bad tag referenced. There are a few hundred compnents displayed and it would be very time consuming to go through them all to find the one that is playing up. ---

Run diagnostics on the root container. ---

Open designer, find the root container on the window, right click it and find "run diagnostics" Lots of it will be green, some might be red. Some bindings in templates on the window might not show up in the diagnostics, so you may need to dig into specific templates.
