Import csv tags: Error importing tags: ¿Designer.Messages.InvalidTagName?

Ignition
1

I’m using 8.1.7. I’m trying to import tags from a CSV file. I created the file from the example in the documentation. I’ve gotten rid of special characters in the tag names, none of them start with a number, some do end with an underscore (but I think that’s allowed). I’m getting an error on import: Tag errors occurred during tag import Error_Exception(“Error importing tags: ¿Designer.Messages.InvalidTagName?”)

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you share the file you’re trying to import?

I see the flagged posts, let me see if these came through without the formatting getting modified.

Thanks

It did not come through intact… do you have a Drop Box or something you can upload to?

Looks like a lot (all?) of your tags start with a space.

Such a simple mistake. How did I overlook that? Thank you!

This post saved me alot of heart burn. I was trying to find a CSV format for Ignition 8.1.17 and your CSV format showed me the scheme format. I was able to import your CSV file.

Unfornately Ignition manual does not show your the CSV import scheme.

Well done Kevin. I deleted the space as well and it worked. Now I can put my project in the CSV template.

I am trying to import a csv tag file. Got rid of spaces, underscores and special characters. Still getting import error in Vision.

Now it's my turn to look after a scheme, do you have something to share with me ?
