After upgrading to ignition 8 and going through and getting everything to work correctly there is one thing that doesn’t work like it use to on ignition 7. If I were to assign a label or text field with tag that is a string type which is gathered from Kepware which is an OPC server, I get a quality error of Error\_TypeConversion. Any suggestions or fixes.
