I have used OPC UA and Siemens UDTs and Structs throughout my entire project without issues. Now suddenly new tags are starting to show up like this, It’s not giving me the tags in the struct as a JSON. I guess its something on the PLC side but I’m not sure what is causing this.
Any ideas?
Ignition 8.3.1
On all structs or just some new one you're encountering for the first time?
Is this a new OPC UA connection? Is the advanced "Deprecated DataType Dictionary Support" set to false?
Hi!
Some new ones, I tried to move it from InstanceDB to Global, change the name, change the Struct but does not work. Old ones work though. It’s the same PLC and same OPC Connection.
Thanks,
Check that setting, make sure it's false.
You'll have to share the top level structure definition and any additional definitions used by members.

Hi!
Setting that to false actually fixed the issue of this when i have the struct in a Global DB. However, it did not fix the issue when the struct is used in a IDB:
When true, you can only used structs defined the “Default Simatic Namespace” or whatever they call it. It’s only true by default on connections that were part of an upgrade from 8.1.
You might have to work with support to further troubleshoot. You’ll need to connect with UaExpert and look to see if these nodes that don’t work have DataTypeDefinition attributes correctly defined, and possibly explore the DataTypes folder in the address space to find and verify these types exist.
