Hi, I want to use the interactive tag import function because I find it really cool. But I've come across an error that I don't understand and I'd like to know if any of you can help me out. Here are the elements: First test: Import the tagD1.json file =\> Perfect ! [tagD1.json](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/A7bo3F9mEcy665JWAIdIYlMGOq7.json) (1.0 KB) Second test: Import the tagD2.json [tagD2.json](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/3JUDs8TTCeZic6z4uu514Id8CY4.json) (1.0 KB) Get the error ![2023-09-19_14h18_44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/f/4f86553584f00ff62009ccbbee7296cfa297e1f5.png) The 6 depends on where I'm trying to create the tags. If I try to create folder on the root, I will get the same error but with Index 5 instead of 6: ![2023-09-19_14h19_20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/f/3f4c721bba8e1f7b2c3c8e6795a2af8affa1863e.png) I thought that it may coming from a too long property on the tag definition but I do not see. It's propably something on the json file that it generated by an external tool but I do not see the issue.... Thanks, Martial ---

You may find this of interest. > [@Tag Naming, Characters not allowed](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/tag-naming-characters-not-allowed/53840/9): > > I agree with victor here, I’d use only [a-z][A-Z][0-9] and \_ ( "^[a-zA-Z0-9\_]\*$") for tag names. Now, it would be cool to have a displayName prop on tags, that would be used for things like tag browsers, that would accept any character. ---

Thx Jordan, Interested. But tagD1.json was imported properly even with {é} and {-} on tagName So ... ---

At the end, effectively, the issue was on the name of the folder that contains a . on G.E Thanks Jordan for this orientation... I did not deeply dig about it enough. ---

You may also want to consider trimming/commonizing folder and tag names. A lot of terms are getting repeated. It's okay for the documentation properties, but the full tag paths stretch off into the horizon. 😉 An example may be: `Armoire test/TGBT2/Tension Arrivée/QPT-IS1/Position` `Armoire test/TGBT2/Tension Arrivée/QPT-IS1/Defaut` ---

Jordan, Thanks but I don't really understand what you mean... You suggest to me to not use Tree organisation but better using long name with /, isn't it? Thx ---

Tree organization is fine. I'm suggesting that extending the tree may help better group your tags. ```plaintext Armoire test └ TGBT2 └ Tension Arrivée └ QPT-IS1 ├ Position └ Defaut ``` ---
