Hi,

When editing a tag with system.tag.editTag, all configuration Alarm Mode Settings are reseted to default values (Mode = Equal, Setpoint = 0).

As I have to add associated data to some 8000 tags…this is really annoying if not a real problem.

Any workaround ?

This shouldn’t be the case, what version of the IALabs scripting module are you using?
