Hi,  
I want to print a list of tags in specific path and the first parameter in each tag.  
I can read the name of each tag and want to ask how to get the first parameter?  
All tags have first parameter.  
This is the code of the name.

```python
tags = system.tag.browseTags(parentPath="projectName/CM/Transmitters")
for t in tags:
	print(t.name)
	

```

Thanks

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.getConfiguration](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.getConfiguration)  
the if is required as not all tags have parameters

```auto
	tags = system.tag.browseTags(parentPath="projectName/CM/Transmitters")
	for t in tags:
		print(t.name)
		tagConfig = system.tag.getConfiguration(t.name,False)[0]
		if 'parameters' in tagConfig :
			print(tagConfig['parameters'])

```
