Hi all,

Using OPC-DA the Nested folder in folder is working good (complex PLC structure)

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/6/66a31cd63f3efdaeb2c9e6c4e71e667faa633f99.png)

Using OPC-UA the Nested folder in folder will appear as tag in tag so then the structure is not working

All the values will be hidden under the main tag in a big array

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

This server seems to be modeling the data slightly different in OPC UA than OPC Classic.

You’ll probably have to just pull in the child tags individually if the parent tag is an array full of data you don’t want.
