Does anyone know how to get the Description attribute to populate in Ignitions OPC UA server with the tag's description or tooltip value?
I am connecting to Igntions OPC UA server with a 3rd party client app and see that the description field is empty. I would love this attribute to be populated with the Tooltop property in Ignition Tag Editor. (see images)
There's no configuration for this, we're not mapping anything onto the OPC UA Description attribute.
If we did implement this at some point it would likely be the Documentation tag property, not the Tooltip.
Bummer, this would be really helpful for anyone using an external historian or database systems to get a little more context around the items. Appreciate the response. I will throw a suggestion on the ideas board for this.
Unfortunately this is a bigger issue than I originally thought because it prevents me from custom adding descriptions in PI Tags. The Adapter keeps overwriting them because they expect the Description field to be populated.
During my time at AVEVA, I worked the support ticket(s) that led to this KB article being created (or whatever they're called now).
I was just about to write up a rant about how this is a common and very frustrating issue for AVEVA adapter users, but it looks like it may have been fixed in AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA version 1.6.0.296 Allow the PI Point description to | AVEVA™ PI System™ Feedback Portal
Have you tried the new config option in the adapter?
