I have two projects - one control, one purely for informational display. They use many of the same tags. At one point I exported the tags from one project and imported it into the other. I have noticed that when I change tag addresses in the first project, they are automagically updated in the second.

How does this happen? Skynet?

Two projects, same gateway? Tags belong to the gateway (ie they are globally scoped), not to one project.

Oh. That explains it.

Although I was kind of hoping it was skynet.
