No, this isn’t supported right now. Only the Tag’s Value property is exposed.

thanks for your answer.  
it will be implemented in the future? I wanted to know because I have an opc client that uses the alarms.

I think it is technically feasible to expose additional tag properties but there aren’t any plans to do that right now.

You can submit this as an idea and if you and others vote for it then it may happen: [https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas)
