Platform
1547: JSONEditor appearance suffers under constrained width
Fixed render issue in JSON property editor when width was constrained.
Enterprise
1460: Remote tag provider always shows Unknown status UDTs as Uncertain
On the Tags Status page:
Remote tag provider should display Running if the connection is good
Tag count should display the number of tags reported by the remote tag provider if remote Gateway is also on a version with this change. Older versions will continue to report a tag count of “Unavailable”
UDTInstance quality should show Good if all atomic tags are good
1158: system.perspective.isAuthorized doesn’t accept session ID override/kwarg
Scripting function system.perspective.isAuthorized now accepts the sessionId argument properly.
1761: Viewport bound pop-ups have their contents become draggable if right or bottom edge is on viewport boundary
Fixed issue regarding Popup component movement when viewportBound is set to true.
1783: system.perspective.toggle always displays close icon
Fixed togglePopup scripting function bug.
1233: Parent Projects Can Be Linked To Their Children
Fixed an issue where projects could be erroneously linked together in a circular manner via the gateway UI.
1593: Adding / updating annotation on power chart updates all chart annotations instead of just modified one
Adding or updating an annotation on the power chart component will no longer update all annotations rendered on the chart.
Connectivity
1778: Cannot write to exposed tags of datatypes that need conversion from UA to Ignition types
Fixed a bug preventing writes to DateTime and DateTime Array tags exposed to OPC UA via the Exposed Tags interface.

1695: Breakpoint Container’s small and large breakpoint buttons do not change the views shown in the container
Fixed issue with Breakpoint container that wasn’t updating small/large view change until Designer was interacted with after selecting specified child size.
1498: Malformed logger message exception from ComponentRegistry if the same component ID attempts to register twice
Fixed issue where a perspective component registered by a 3rd party module twice would throw a MissingFormatArgumentException.
1415: Mixed pre-deploy and non-pre-deploy launchers have file contention over launchclient.jar
The Designer and Vision Client Launchers now rely on the .ignition/cache/resources location to cache and run from matching launchclient.jars. This improves consistency on which launchclient.jar should be used based on the target gateway on launches as well as retargets. It also reduces the amount of network traffic required to launch a client by relying on existing cached jars instead of downloading from the target gateway every time when frequently targeting different gateways or versions.
1751: Internal tag historian is not enforcing Time/Point Limit settings
Internal tag historian on non-Edge gateways now respect time and point limit settings instead of defaulting to 1 week and 10 million points.
1744: Vision UDT bindings don’t work across cross-version remote tag providers (8 to 7)
Vision UDT tag bindings between an Ignition 8 gateway to an Ignition 7 tag source do not work correctly.
Visualization
233: Alarm Tables: translation, locale, and timezone support
This effort for this ticket is solely for the alarm tables (Alarm Journal and Alarm Table). All persistently displaying text in each table has been translated. The pager that exists in the footer (and sometimes header) has also been translated. Since the pager is used on the standard Table component, it, being the pager, will also apply translations. All of the alarm table modals are translated as well, i.e. alarm details, column config modal, filter modals etc.
In addition, translation of the historical and realtime date range component that is used with the Alarm Journal Table and the Power Chart has been done as part of this work. This is also reflected in the Date Time Input and Date Picker components.
1663: Redundancy: Sync status of backup gateway becomes out of date when the master experiences a network disconnect/reconnect
Fixed an issue causing old, expired connections to be used for sending gateway network messages. This behavior could lead to an incomplete connection state for the gateway network channel, which, if using redundancy, would cause both nodes to remain active upon reconnect.
Visualization
1841: Perspective Map: Alternative WMS provider URLs results in Component Error
Support for WMS layers added back, and URLs without parameters are allowed.
1734: AbstractAssetManager deadlock when upgrading and restarting two Gateways over GAN

1765: Unable to create nested script package with same name as top level script package
Fixed an issue where scripts inside packages could not be given the same name as other scripts at the root level.
Data Model
1836: UDT Instances aren’t sorted with other tags in Tag Browser
UDT Instances are no longer sorted separately from other tags.
1897: Row Selector component does not show reverse sort filtering in vision clients
Fixed issue that caused the “Reverse Sort” option on a Row Selector Tree filter to not serialize.
781: Scripting functions to get project metadata for Perspective
Added system.perspective.getProjectInfo() scripting method. Also available on the session object.
1083: Perspective Scripting - Popups Opened via system.perspective.openPopup() with a Child DataSet Parameter - Incorrect Formatting of the DataSet
Dates and Datasets can now be passed as parameters using system.perspective.openPopup(), togglePopup(), dock() and navigate() when specifying a view.
1432: Dates passed as parameters in perspective will not translate back to a date
Date and Dataset values are now encoded correctly when specified as view parameters using dock, navigate, and popup actions.

1741: system.tag.storeAnnotations displays NPE when using annotations on a edge remote tag provider using internal historian
Unsupported calls to store annotations on remote providers are handled more gracefully
Instead of throwing an NPE, the result for each path pointing to a remote provider will be a QualifiedValue with Bad/Unsupported Quality Code and diagnostic message “Remote tag history providers do not support annotation storage”
493: Radio Group bound properties break when reopening view
Radio Group bound property values remain intact while reopening views.
Data Model
415: Tags Deleted from Edge provider with remote sync are not recorded as retired in tag history
Added support for tag retirement within the local historian. In addition, any tags that are now retired locally will be synced properly to a remote historian if using data sync.
431: Add sync support for annotations to local (edge) historian
Added support for remote syncing annotations that are stored to the local historian.
1756: system.tag.configure with merge collisionPolicy changes UDT or Instance tagType when it’s not explicitly included
Better support for changing TagType through scripting and prevent modifying TagType of UDT Definitions and inherited nodes.
1649: Managed Tag Providers Should Function Independent of Redundancy Status
Status tags on redundant backups do not have the latest values available on them when backup is not active. This prevents the monitoring of such tags through OPC-UA while gateway is not active.
1873: XYNumericDataset and AbstractDataset’s getPrimitiveValue should accept Date subclasses
Datasets with java.sql.Timestamp columns now can be used in Vision charts.
1939: Perspective: Checkbox component intermittently does not display check icon
Checkbox Component and other uses of Perspective’s internal Icon Renderer should no longer display the wrong icon (such as unchecked when a Checkbox is checked) in rare situations.

Perspective Checkbox Component: onClick event will now fire once per click instead of twice.
1541: Need to be able to translate the login failure message for Vision clients
Classic login panel and IDP login panel in Vision client are now translatable.
Data Model
1921: Alarms not Triggering on Tags when Modifying the Alarm Mode
Changes to a tag’s alarm configuration aren’t always evaluated immediately upon save- the value must change by more than the deadband before the correct state will be established. This has been changed so that the current state is evaluated immediately.
1950: Tag Backfill can prevent Tag Event scripts from showing immediately changed values when Timestamps aren’t in sync between Gateway and Vision/Designer
Writes to memory tags were using the timestamp of the source JVM, causing issues when the remote system’s clock was different than the gateway’s (future timestamp could block value changes until that time, past timestamp could potentially not be used as the current value). Writes to tags will now use the gateway’s timestamp. Advanced writing that seeks to manipulate the timestamp (by writing QualifiedValues through scripting) will need to be executed on the local gateway in order to continue working.
Platform
355: Gateway unable to deserialize arguments from a client-scoped system.db.runPrepUpdate call
An InvalidClassException was thrown when system.db.runPrepUpdate was called with parameters that resolved to BigDecimal objects.
969: Perspective Alarm Status Table: Add selection control and selection data properties
Added new property to the Alarm Status Table called “selection”. This property allows the user to configure how many table rows can be selected at a time on both the active and shelved tabs of the alarms displayed on the table, as well as creating a read-only list of the currently selected alarms and its details for active and shelved respectively.
686: Add Cancel Option To Login Screen For Active Sessions
Added an Exit Login button to the Login page to give users a way to cancel the login process if needed.

Data Model
1935: Tag History Mode Changes From Using Historical Scanclass to On Change after upgrading from 7.9 to 8.1
Fixed an issue where tags defined with the “Default Historical” Historical Scanclass in 7.9 were incorrectly converted to use the “On Change” Sample Mode instead of “Tag Group” after upgrading to 8.x.
1973: ReadArrayTagsRequest is not being counted by request timers
Fixed a bug in Logix driver metrics that prevented read requests for arrays from being counted in throughput measurement.
2000: LargeAnalogValue Present_Value has wrong value when subscribed via COV
Fixed a bug when using COV that resulted in the Present_Value property of LargeAnalogValue objects to report a value of 0.
1843: Numeric Entry Field: invalidStyle property being incorrectly applied to valid values
Numeric Entry Field component now correctly removes invalidStyles when its value goes from invalid to valid.
1333: In Perspective parameters, passing complex object parameters merge with pre-existing object
New view setting to control whether object parameters are merged in with or replace default values.
Infrastructure
1782: Docker Image: Implement lightweight Container Health check
Docker Image now uses a healthcheck that doesn’t conflict with use of gwcmd.sh.
1777: Docker Image: Implement Proper Signal Handling
Docker Image now responds properly to container stop commands (i.e. docker stop <container_name>) and performs gateway shutdown.
