Hi, Is there a way of using system.tag.addTag function to override UDT member alarm properties? I have tried to guess my way through using alarmConfig and overrides in different ways to no avail, and I don’t see anywhere the documentation address this specific type of override.

I believe you would want to use system.tag.editAlarmConfig
