When a tag is disabled, I can accurately get the quality (intValue) of 410 (Disabled) when using [system.tag.read](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_tag_read.htm). But when I use [system.tag.readAll](http://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/system_tag_readall.htm), the quality is not the same (returning instead Unknown - 600).

```auto
aqv = system.tag.readAll(["MyDisabledTag"])
for qv in aqv:
	print qv.quality.intValue == 410
#this returns false for an existing tag that is disabled
qv = system.tag.read("MyDisabledTag")
print qv.quality.intValue == 410
#this returns true for the same tag

```

This issue was fixed in Ignition 7.6.3 but I don’t think it was ever back ported to 7.5. I had the same result as you in 7.5.12. I will create a ticket to have the issue corrected. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
