Hi, I have a little problem. I was working with Ignition in another PC, I exported the whole project in .zip file.

When I'm importing the project in a new PC, the project open succesfully but there is not any tags (OPC) neither UDT TAGS.

When I try to recover this tags since 'Tag Browser'. It looks for a csv, json or xml file

Can I recover this tags?

You can recover them if you still have access to the other Ignition.

Tags are global resources, they are not part of a project (or a project export).

You can export them on their own from the Tag Browser, or as part of the entire Ignition instance in a gateway backup.
