[IGN-14387] Ignition 8.3 system.tag.configure() on remote provider

Busy trying to upgrade my project to 8.3 I have a tool that parses a excel sheet and using system.tag.configure() to save it as a UDT. Currently when I try save it as a UDT I just get a empty UDT with no tags and a good result from the function call.
Did some testing in the scripting console with the example here: system.tag.configure | Ignition User Manual and was getting the same result. But when I run the same example in the scripting console where the provider is local it works, and the tag shows up on the remote provider.

Have you setup the service security to allow read/write/edit?
Are you using the correct tag provider name in the remote gateway?

Had a look into this, I can create tags manually in the designer but if I try create a UDT manually(with tags) it just appears as an empty UDT. so doesn’t seem to be limited to the function call. Is there a new permission just for UDTs?

If I open the empty UDT on the remote provider and try add new tags to it, they are saved correctly. Seems like only when I try save a UDT with tags at the same time, only the UDT is saved(no tags)

Using the inductiveautomation/ignition:8.3 docker container for both instance of the scale out system

Thanks for letting us know, there’s a bug in our serialization logic that’s ignoring children configurations.
