If I move tags into some groups for better organization within Ignition, How can I re-point tags in current project windows to the new locations easily? Currently we have machines individually in folders under “Tags” within SQLTags browser. I wish to make folders for similar machines and then move the individual machines under that. Jim ---

We are currently working on a global search and replace feature, but there is nothing that will exactly fit with what you want right now. For the brave: there is a way to modify the raw XML of a window, but it’s not for the faint of heart. Always make a backup of your windows before attempting an operation like this. If you make a mistake, it is VERY hard to find and fix, and it’s very easy to cause deserialization errors when you manually modify a window. If you hold shift and right-click a window two extra options show up: ‘Copy XML To Clipboard’ and ‘Set XML From Clipboard’. You can use these to copy, modify and paste the XML back into your project using any text editor with a search and replace function. ---

Robert, Thanks, thought I might be overlooking the simple. Looks like we have a user that needs removed above. Jim ---

The current search and replace dialog does work on tag paths in bindings, so, yes. ---
