In Ignition 8, setting the Scale Mode to BitInversion on a boolean tag doesn’t do anything. It can be ‘tricked’ by setting the Data Type to Byte, then applying BitInversion, then switching Data Type back to Boolean, but this doesn’t survive a Gateway restart.

Is this a known issue? Is there any other way to achieve this?
