Do you have any tag providers configured? (check in the gateway config area)

3

The default one still exists. I also created a new one to test with no difference.

Does the project have a default tag provider configured?

5

That did it, thanks Kevin.
Are tags project scope instead of gateway scope or is this another undocumented feature?

6

Tags are gateway scope and projects have always had a default provider setting. I’m not sure why yours suddenly became un-set though.

7

I imported a project (Cards.proj) that was posted in the Ignition 8 beta forums. I suspect that user has a different tag provider default then the “default”.

8

That would do it!

Coincidentally, there is work pending review to make things behave a little better when the project’s tag provider is missing or undefined.
