I have a project where I have a UDT set up and I have set tag history for a few tags within that UDT. Everything worked back in 2021 with me not overriding the storage provider. Something happened on the gateway where a few new projects were added by the customer on the gateway and the DB connection moved to a different server but supposedly nothing related to this project was changed. Now the tags aren't being sent to the DB. After some troubleshooting I tried overriding the storage provider to DB which is the same as the storage provider within the UDT and it now works. Why would I all of a sudden need to override the storage provider for tag history in order for this work when it worked before and overriding it wasn't necessary? ---

Just to be clear, the name of the storage provider wasn't changed but the DB it pointed to was changed in the gateway | Configuration | Databases | Connections? ---
