Hi, Tag Browser Import Tag Grayed Out Why? This is giving me headache, as I do import tag multiple times. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/8/f86e7c6fad8319daae2c580766a5bd49849f632d.png) Any work around to re-enable this? I have to close and re-launch designer every time. ---

What Tag Provider do you have selected? ---

Project's Default Tag Provider (in this case not the "default" tag Provider). ---

Where are you right clicking when you do this? Do you have a folder or tag selected first? Is import grayed out in the "three dot" menu at the top of the tag browser? ---

I am right clicking on the folder. Happened again, but thanks for the alternative.. The import at the 3 dots is working. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/5/45d5e5506f59036b7acf7a907856682b9fbfa23b.png) ---

It looks like you're on the UDT definitions tab instead of the tags tab ---

I see this happen frequently but usually the other way around. I've found that if I click over to the UDT Definitions tab and then back to Tags tab Import Tags is available again. You might try clicking the Tags tab and then going back to the Tags tab. Of course Kevin's workaround is faster. ---

Yes, this issue happened every time, independent of project and machine. I was working on multiple UDT this time, and got sick, so went to forum. I will try this tab switch if it fix this. And yes, the 3 dot alternative works just fine.
