Not sure what has changed, but I cannot browse my OPC tags in the designer anymore. If I go to the gateway web page I can see all my devices and tags in the quick client. i have tried restarting the ignition service with no luck. please help.

Thank you,

Do you get any errors? Can you see the Ignition OPC-UA server in the list? You may want to give us a call and work with one of our tech support reps on this issue.

In case anyone else runs into this, it was caused by a the Realtime SQLTags provider not being connected to the project correctly. Creating a new provider, setting the project to that provider and restarting the designer solved it.
