Hello guys, I am new to Ignition 7.9 platform and I have a question, maybe you cand help me a little. If I want to create new OPC tag in an Instance folder of an UDT, what is the best practice procedure to do that? I noticed that I can’t create new tags in Instance folders, only outside that folder, or in the Instance folder only. For example: I have a thermal point named **PT730** , and inside of it I have many folders, for: **temperature, pressure and flow**. And let’s supposed that I need to create a new tag in temperature folder. When I click on that folder I get erros message: “New tags cannot be created in UTD instances”. Can you help me with a hint please? Thank you in advance!! ---

Well, you can’t. You would need to define a UDT that used the original UDT as its parent and includes your desired extra tags. Then replace the original UDT instance with an instance of the new type. ---

I tried with the rollback button from the top panel, but nothing changed ☹ ---

You could save a backup of your current state, then roll back to a previous backup where the tags are present, then export them. Then restore to the current state and import them? ---
