(I’m not an expert in either the old or the new tag system)

You will hopefully be able to switch to the new `ManagedTagProvider` concept; it’s a simpler scaffolding that helps with setting up the basic idea of “Java code that provides Ignition tags”.

I’d start from the SDK example and work from there:

> **[ignition-sdk-examples/managed-tag-provider at master ·...](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/master/managed-tag-provider)**
>
> master/managed-tag-provider

As a general rule: Anything under the `sqltags` package is deprecated or outright removed.
