Using Ignition 8.1.36. PowerChart \> PROPS.config.tagBrowserStartPath does not work the same as TagBrowseTree \> PROPS.root.path.  
Why not and when will they be consistent?  
For example enter, "histprov:your\_history\_provider". Works in PowerChart component, but not in TagBrowseTree component.

Hi Andy,

The Tag Browse Tree within Vision is able to accept "histprov:your\_history\_provider", only if the Tag Browse Tree mode is set to historical. Unfortunately, the Tag Browse Tree in Perspective does not include this functionality. Perspective's Tag Browse Tree is only able to query tags from real time tag providers, not historical tag providers. You can see [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Vision+-+Tag+Browse+Tree) that the Vision Tag Browse Tree is able to accept historical providers, while [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Tag+Browse+Tree), Perspective does not.  
If you would like to submit the addition of querying for historical tags from the Tag Browse Tree in Perspective, feel free to visit [this page](https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/).
