Hello,  
I'm facing an issue with Vision Client Tags importing.  
We are using latest available Ignition Version (8.1.45).

When we export tags with an SQL Named query, all it's parameters are removed when re-importing them.

For example the following XML does not work:

```python
   <Tag name="MaxProductivity" path="Productivity" type="Client">
      <Property name="Value">0</Property>
      <Property name="DataType">2</Property>
      <Property name="ExpressionType">3</Property>
      <Property name="Expression">Reporting/GetMaxProductivity</Property>
      <Property name="PollRate" mode="1">10,000</Property>
      <QueryParameters>
         <Entry name="StartDateTime">{[client]Productivity/Graph Start Date}</Entry>
         <Entry name="EndDateTime">{[client]Productivity/Graph End Date}</Entry>
         <Entry name="interval">{[client]Productivity/Graph Sampling}</Entry>
         <Entry name="interval_string">{[client]Productivity/Graph Sampling Interval}</Entry>
      </QueryParameters>
   </Tag>

```

I've tried to import referred tags before, but it does not work anyway.

Also it seems that interactive importing tags does not work for Vision Client Tags.

Thanks for any help.

A workaround I've found is exporting the project and then importing only the Vision Client tags in the new project.

Probably worth reporting this bug to IA support to get it tracked. (Probably won't be fixed soon given you have a work-around.)
