UDT using Ignition SDKs

We are developing our modules using the SDK for a particular class of instruments. I wanted to create UDT for them. Is there a way, UDTs can be created and managed by Ignition SDKs ? Can tags be created from UDTs using SDKs ?

Are there any documentation around it ? I could only find documents about UDT but nothing about using them in SDKs.

The way this is worded sounds backwards, so I'm not confident that I understand what you're asking. In any case, Ignition's SDK programmer's guide does cover the creation of tags:
Create Tags | Ignition SDK Manual

thank you. Here is the use case I thought of. I am creating a portal using perspective to allow user to add different kinds of instruments. This Perspective portal is backed by my custom module. Since there are many kinds of instruments, I though of creating UDTs for each class so that when user adds isntruments, each type can have it's own tags.

Why do you say it backwards ?

I'm not saying it's backwards. In my work flow, I build UDTs from tags, and moreover, I don't imagine that I would describe any tags created by a module as User Defined. Consequently, in my brain, the SDK workflow looks like this:
SDK-->Tags-->UDTs

In your sentence, the words occur in the opposite order, so that's why it seemed backwards.
