Hello,

I upgraded a project from 7.5 to 7.6 and now the tags are not reflecting the current alarm severity

the tag.AlertCurrentSeverity meta prop has always a value of -1

Is there a problem with it?  
is there a work-around to solve this?

Thank you

Hi,

Sorry, yes, it looks like it doesn’t currently work. There are the new “AlarmHighestAckPriority” and “AlarmHighestUnackPriority” properties, but that property should continue to work for backwards compatibility. It will be fixed for 7.6.3.

Regards,
