Instance Creation Wizard for non-UDT Types

Ignition
1

When I launch the instance creation wizard it asks for a UDT type. Is there a way to use non-UDT tags in the wizard (or maybe there's a tag creation wizard)?

I want to create OPC tags that are "Tag_Y" with OPC Path "[SCP]Tag[Y]" without manually creating them all

Trivial with this:

Thanks Phil! Didn't know this existed.

This script also worked:

tags = [
		{

	  "valueSource": "opc",
	  "opcItemPath": "ns=1;s=[SCP]Tag[{}]".format(x),
	  "dataType": "Float4",
	  "name": "Tag_{}".format(x),
	  "tagType": "AtomicTag",
	  "opcServer": "Ignition OPC UA Server"

		}
		for x in range(0,20)
		]


system.tag.configure("[default]Folder_1", tags)

Get the format by copying JSON from an existing tag and get the path by copying path to folder.
