Version 7.9.13

When using system.tag.editTag() what is the correct way to remove an override on a UDT instance?  
Specfically, a child members **OPCItemPath** attribute.

I tried not specifying the override parameter in system.tag.editTag(pathToTag)  
I tried specifying **override={}**  
I tried specifying the specific tag with empty dictionary; **overrides = {“ChildMember”:{}}**

None of the above seem to be working.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried setting the specific override to `None`?

Nailed it.

Thanks @witman .

This is what worked:  
**overrides = {“ChildMember”: {‘OPCItemPath’: None}}**
