Using Ignition 7.6.2 b2368

While setting up a new UDT I created a new tag in it and when editing the alarm properties of that tag I tried using ctrl-space to bring up the parameters but it doesn’t work in that area. Manually typing {parm} nomenclature does not work.

It worked in Ignition version 7.5 and I assume it was supposed to work in 7.6 but somehow got bypassed.

Whoops,  
Made the oldest error in the book, added a space on the end of the parm I was trying to use. 😊😢
