I am having an issue with tags not showing up correctly in the OPC browser . DINTS are showing up as a folder instead of a tag. I am trying to create a tag called PPM\_205 it is a DINT from a Control Logix L71 Rev. 20.12. When I browse for the tag this is what I get ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/b/b72652acf6af60cec173b14bdf7c166afa14f407.PNG) I tried creating a new tag WTF\_205 and I get the same thing ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/e/eb1516b3f2337520174cce38961b2427579bf542.PNG) But I was able to create other tags today just fine, I don’t understand what the heck is going on ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/3/38b6ce94ca6b00b39c4c07a89ce6c7e9a5ea1e9f.PNG) This is how I have the tags in the controller ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/f/fa1f2922d98ecf05dd3f18bf643210216075bc9c.PNG) I tried refreshing the tag browser, exiting ignition, talking nice to my computer then talking dirty to it nothing seams to work 🙂 I am running ignition 7.6.6 ---

If you restart Ignition does it show up correctly? ---

I did not try restarting the gateway as this will interrupt production I did close and open the designer but it didn’t make a difference. ---

Well… when you get a break in production or can otherwise tolerate some downtime, give that shot. If it doesn’t work you’ll probably need to upgrade to a more recent version. ---

Did restarting the gateway resolve this issue? I’m having the same problem with DINT tags ---

Any resolution on this? I’m having the same. DINT shows up in OPC browser as an empty folder. Tried restarting the AB driver and refreshing the Device. No Bueno. ---

Restarted the OPC server and that fixed the issue for me.
