system.db.runNamedQuery is showing as This function is deprecated and will be hidden in the future In Ignition 8.3

Just going to highlight this portion of my other post.

All that said - as ever, just because a function is deprecated does not mean it is going to break, now or in the immediate future. With literally one exception in the last decade, we do not remove scripting functions after they've been added. Eventually they may functionally stop doing anything (e.g. the system.alert functions, originally deprecated in 7.6 / 2013, stopped doing anything in 8.3), but they will not be removed, and in the unlikely event we can't provide equivalent functionality automatically, it will be clearly marked in the upgrade guide.

There's not going to be a rug pull. While I'd recommend moving to the new functions eventually, it's because they are better. There is absolutely no urgency to doing so.

I'll even state confidently:
The next major version of Ignition, 2027.2, is not going to do anything to change the behavior of system.db.runNamedQuery in a backwards-incompatible way.
