Within the tag report tool, I am trying to query tags where the tag name = Label and the value is LIKE TT. The tag Label is an **OPC Tag**. I have a udt instance which has a Label tag with value 'TT1310B', and here was my query: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/c/1cf37de8773e9a0df8ed747ab066a8e653015086.png) with 0 results. As soon as i change the tag to **memory** , the tag query results have the tag i was searching for. Is there a problem with reading the Value from an OPC tag within the tag report tool? Also, if i remove the Value condition, so just the name = 'Label', the tag is in the query results ---

Thanks for the reply @pturmel ! Is there any reason why it would work for some tags? i.e. one of my tags has a Label value of 'LT1417' and it correctly displays in the results. I even change it to something different in the PLC just to test, 'LT1417B' and that also displays in the query. ---

Hmm. Not sure. ---

So i think it is related to this post here: > [@Error with LIKE operator in tag report tool](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/error-with-like-operator-in-tag-report-tool/98470): > > I found a possible bug. I am using the tag report tool (and system.tag.query function). I use it to match tags that have a tooltip that contains the text "test". This works in most cases, but not if the tooltip contains "\r\n" (newline character). Is it supposed to be like that? Ignition version = 8.1.35 I basically deleted the value within the tag (Ctrl+A then Delete), and then typed out the value manually. It returns in the query! So maybe some newline characters or something that we couldn't see.
