Hi,

Version: **8.1.27 (b2023042509)**

We had an unscheduled gateway restart last night. Still investigating cause, but for some reason Tag Values are not populating in the Value column of the Tag Browser within Designer. Please see image. Comm is on.

Assuming the PLC is still connected, have you tried:

- restarting the tag (by right clicking on the root tags and selecting refresh)?

- restarting the Tag Historian module on the gateway?

You don’t happen to be not licensed yet and the trial has ran out correct?

It’s _all_ the tags, every device. System is operating, production running, so hesitant to take actions like that atm.

I'll start by suggesting you contact [Support](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us) officially, but:  
Any errors in the gateway logs?  
How about in the Designer, in the 'Output Console' tool window?  
Do other tag providers, such as the 'System' provider, show values?

As expected, gateway restart solved everything.
