I just want to know if i am doing something wrong. I drag an opc folder onto the data types, set the parameter then use find and replace to place in the UDT tags. when i am finished i have to go through every tag, change one thing then change it back and apply in order for the UDT to take. i have exported the formatting of some befor edit and after edit.  
After I edit and commit:  
‘’’  
{

```
  "opcItemPath": {

    "bindType": "parameter",

    "binding": "ns\u003d1;s\u003d[Bulk Addition]Program:MainProgram.P_DoseFM_Tank{tank}.Cfg_UseEqpFdbk"

  },

  "valueSource": "opc",

  "dataType": "Boolean",

  "name": "Cfg_UseEqpFdbk",

  "tagType": "AtomicTag",

  "opcServer": "Ignition OPC-UA Server"

},

```

‘’’  
Before I edit and commit
