Hello,

I am having a problem with historical tags in ignition 7.6.1.

I have a SQLTags database driving provider configured to a mysql database, and all works well, but when I try to enable the historian on a particular tag, the settings won’t save. (ie i set all the settings and pick apply, and the option goes back to disabled).

I managed to force it to save once, but then I received errors about not being able to access the sqlth\_drv table on my database (the same database with the db driving provider), and I have confirmed this table isn’t present, what kicks ignition to create the historian tables?
