When using the tag browser to inspect the values in a string array tag, I’ve noticed a couple issues.

1. The item list under the value branch does not get updated to match changes to the array size

2. Double-clicking in the value cell for the array changes the display to the type and object id:

This does not occur with the other array tag types as the numeric types are not compatible with the string type and id description and it cannot be accidentally accepted.  
Ignition 8.1.14

Can confirm I’ve had this happen as well.
