I created a udt tag and set its tag group to other than default (custom), will the tags(child) within the udt inherit the parent tag group, in this case ‘custom’ or do I still have to manually change each of them?

Thanks

They will not inherit from the data type itself. This allows for different tags within the datatype to use different tag groups. You can create a parameter in the UDT for Tag Group and then bind all child tags in the UDT to this parameter.
