Is there any way to suppress this error? I need to use a lot of system.tag.exists() calls where a lot will fail - and when they do, they spam the console. I can wrap it in as many try/catch blocks as I want, it still happens. Luckily that seems to suppress the actual error popup window, but still for debugging it can be really annoying having the real debug data I want wiped away by tons of errors.

It’s something like this, followed by the long stack trace:  
13:12:27.171 [SwingWorker-pool-2-thread-2] ERROR ignition.TagManager.Gateway - Error fetching tag “Some/Tag/Path/Here”  
com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway\_interface.GatewayException: Error loading remote tag.
