I'm curious if there is a way to refer to Ignition tags, or UDT instances, by an alias name. For example, let's say I have an Ignition tag with a name of 'FIT-100A', but I also wanted to refer to it as maybe 'Pump 100 Flow Rate A' and still get its value, high and low units, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Of course, I know you can give the tag name itself a more intuitive name to begin with, but let's say you're wanting to keep the tag names the same as a matching PLC structure or address for traceability through the system, but just want a different way to refer to the tag.
I also recognize you can create parameters or custom properties for tags/UDTs to maybe house an alternative name, but you can't browse those in the Ignition Tag Browser and still fetch the PLC value it's tied to.
To clarify using my example in the first paragraph, I'm curious if there is a way to refer to a tag path as either 'FIT-100A/Value' or 'Pump 100 Flow Rate A/Value' and either way returns the current value.
