I am trying to start a new transaction group. When I do so, the group is 'unable to start'.  
Screenshots:

This is set up the same way as other transaction groups that I have that work. Could this be an issue with the tags?

Try moving `South Basin On` to the run-always section.

I can't drag and drop the tag or copy paste it into the run-always section. Right clicking under the run-always section to add a tag adds it under the Basic OPC section. Is there somewhere in settings I need to edit to get the tag into that section?

It looks like what was actually causing this error was having a space in the table name. It might be worth adding some sort of warning to that field.
