Hi, in Ignition 7.8.1 I see a Tag Data Type named Integer Array: how can I define that? I read my tags through Kepware by using next syntax as address: ```auto ns=2:s=Channel_IP12.S7_1500_IP12.DB1,DI100 ``` It would be nice for me to define an Integer Array that starts from DI100 and extends for 100 items: is that possible? Thanks in advance ---

I think the tag has to be defined as an array in Kepware, and then you could subscribe to that tag and set the tag to an array in Ignition. However… the Ignition tag arrays are read-only right now, so if you need to write to these it’s best to just go forward pretending the array datatype doesn’t exist. ---

Thanks Kevin: it would be nice, if Inductive could change array tags to read/write in a future version. Regards
