Hi,

I needed to change the path of my historical tags, but I wanted to retain the tag history so that it would still appear when plotted with the Easy Chart.

After renaming the path, I noticed that a new historical tag was created in the `sqlth_te` table with a new ID. Perhaps this wasn’t the best approach, but I deleted the previous row with the old ID and the old path, then I updated the new tag’s ID to match the old one. This seemed to work initially, as I could see the historical data.

However, since making this change, new tag values are no longer being stored. Could you help me understand why the tags aren’t being stored anymore and how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you!

I've been able to solve the issue by restarting the gateway!!
