System.tag.configure - If one of the new UDT tags Parameters is blank use the default value of the UDT

If a Parameter is defined but no value is provided the new UDT instance has no value for that Parameter.

Is there a way to have it use the default value of the parent UDT when no value is provided?

Currently it sets the Parameters value to nothing.

For now I've added a check in the script to see if the parameter should be added in the first place. Working so far but not a fix if I want to update a UDT instance.

	# Configure the Tag.
	tag = {
			"name": tagName,         
			"typeId" : typeId,
			"tagType" : tagType,
			"parameters" : {}
			}
	if BACnet_Device_Num:
		tag["parameters"]["BACnet_Device_Num"] = BACnet_Device_Num

Ok, it seems that if I do the update with no parameters then they go back to default.

So I guess if you are wanting to update a UDT and just change some of the parameters, you will need to read them all and write them all back including the ones you are changing and the ones you do not want to change but do not know what they are currently set to.
