Nightly Changelog: 8.0.16-b20200728 ## Ignition Platform **16847: Changing data type on memory tag in UDT can lead to value override in instances** Changing data type of memory tag with a bound value in a UDT can result in overridden values set on instance. **16713: Restrict creating parameters folder within UDT** User defined “Parameters” folder on UDT can clash with built-in node and cause issues, upgrade incompatibilities. **16854: Nested memory tags using path-based built-in UDT params evaluate incorrectly** Fixed by updating the path on startup (activation), we ensure we have the right path if it’s available. ## Perspective **16789: Views: add timeout option as safety for non-blocking views** Views with loading mode set to non-blocking will only wait patiently for five seconds if they have not been called.

In multiple selection mode, the scroll position of the value container (DOM node containing the selected dropdown items) is moved back to the top when the item search container is blurred in order to keep the top-most selected items viewable. Initial width of the dropdown is also set on component focus so that the dropdown modal can have width. ## SQLBridge **16843:NPE is displayed when you Browse Opc for New Opc item in Transaction group** Fix NPE for new OPC item in transaction groups. ---
