Issues with udt tag creation. When I try to add a udt in an udt the list of available udts doesn’t vertically scroll so when the tag is not available on screen I have to select an other one then have to change it, but the list to change is too small, the list can scrolls but i think it can be easier if the list was fully width an with more items in the list.

If you want to Edit the Exsititng UDT instance, you can directly click on the Parent Data type Dropdown (You don’t have to select one from the UDT Instance button)

The list of available UDT don’t vertically scroll when the number of UDT is more then height of screen, it’s really bad because we have a lot of UDT and I always have to select a random UDT then I have to modify it to get the good one. Also, when you want to modify the parent data type the list is very small, I know that the list scrolls but its not ergonomic…
