Read tag values on a report

Ignition

Is it possible to read a tag value on a report or does it need to be in a historical chart?

I want to have a cell/label reference a tags value at the time the report runs.

I think you would be better off logging the tag with historian, then you could use a historian query to get the tag value.
You could pass the tag to the report as a parameter, then display the parameter on your report, though i think it will re-run your report as that tag changes.

Yes, you can. Did you try?

An example,

data['myKey'] = system.tag.read('[default]myTag').value

Probably should use readBlocking, but I’m sure you get the idea.
