Hello, I have instances of UDT’s that, though they are enabled, and show enabled… the subtags remain in a ‘disabled’ state. I can’t figure out why. It’s on an Edge device so I can’t seem to restart the tag either.

looks like I missed someone else's post on this:

> v8.0.15 Just recently upgraded from 7 and seeing some tags showing up as ‘disabled’ in the value column of the tag browser when they’re not set to disabled, nor is the UDT instance they belong to set to disabled. Not sure why?

I’ve run into some weird behavior with this to. I found I had to set override to true to enable some UDT members even though they are enabled in the definition. I expect deleting the instance and creating a new one would also work.

I wonder if exporting tags and then immediately importing those same tags would do any good?

I actually haven’t seen this issue lately. I think it was around v8.0.7 ish.
