Been looking over some of the stuff I’ve written over the past 8+ years, and for the past few, I’ve been using some variant of system.tag.read() over system.tag.getTagValue(). While getTagValue() still works, should I consider it deprecated and udpate my old code accordingly?
Yes, it’s deprecated.
It probably won’t stop working for the sake of backwards compatibility, but updating your code is probably still a good idea.
I figured as much. Luckily, I don’t have gobs of changes to wade through.
Thanks, Kevin!
I always feel bad about resurrecting ancient threads 
Thoughts about adding getTagValue and writeToTag to the deprecated list?
They're still used as examples in current (7.8-8.1) docs btw

Huh, didn't even know there was a deprecated list.
Paging @Paul.Scott, documentation liaison.

Added pages for the two deprecated functions in the deprecated section. Will update the examples on those pages accordingly, thanks for pointing those out!
