How can i get tag configuration of a single tag? I guess, the script function **system.tag.browseConfiguration** browses a folder or UDT path, not an individual tag. Will it give the configuration of a single atomic tag if I give the path os the single tag, instead of folder path parameter? ---

you have to use the tag path path=’[default]TestFolder/Tag1’ config = system.tag.getConfiguration(path, False) ---

There is no function called system.tag. **getConfiguration** (path, False)! Also when I try browseConfiguration on a tag path, it gives error **"AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.script.Imm' object has no attribute 'browseConfiguration'**"! ---

Any help will be appreciated! Looks like to me, there is no function available in the scripts to get co figuration of individual tags , it’s only available for a folder or udt in recursive or non recursive way ! ---

system.tag. **getConfiguration** (path, False) is only available in version 8. Maybe you are using an older version, so that function does not appear. ---

You might get more help on this topic if it was posted in a more appropriate category. This topic has nothing to do with the SDK. ---

Ok , got it. However in lower versions is there no way I can get the configuration of individual tags? That seems unlikely! I tried to see how to get TagConfiguration object for a given tag path, but could find a function to do that in 7.9version! Thanks a lot for the help so far. I figured out that for lower versions we have to individually read the tag properties. There is no other way! Perhaps that's why this function is deprecated in version 8 and a getConfiguration introduced which works at folder and tag level. So I will have to manage with what ever 7.9 provides. Hopefully same will work of higher versions as well, though I could have used the new function. ---

Out of the available topics for a new post, **Ignition,** **General Discussion,** **Ignition 8 early access,** **Archived Topics,** **Module Development,** **3rd Party Modules,** **Ignition Exchange** I thought **module development** to be appropriate. Perhaps **Archived Topics** would have been more appropriate! I will post it there as well if I am unable to find a solution with previous replies so far. ---

The **Ignition** category would have been the most appropriate. The main page of the forum has a paragraph describing what is appropriate in each category. This topic is about script functions in Ignition. Ergo, the Ignition category. I don’t get how you would pick Module Development.
