I cannot create or import vision client tags for the designer. I had multiple designers open, but none of them allowed any modification to the vision client tags. I restarted the designer just to check if a that would fix it, but nope. My tag providers, including my default tag provider, are all working just fine from what I can see.
Any ideas on how to get my vision client tags working again?
Here's how it looks on my end:
My Ignition Designer Details:
Are there any errors in the Designer's output console window?
Had the same thing on 8.1.47. Additionally you can copy a tag but cant delete once created too in my case. And the rest of the tag options are greyed out same as you. Was able to fix by stopping and starting the ignition gateway but not sure how it started in the first place.
Fixed it. No gateway restart required for my issue.
When searching the error code online, I kept hearing others say the project needs a default tag provider. Though my project had a default tag provider, it turns out one of the projects on the gateway did not. Updated it and the Vision Client Tags immediately came back.
Below are the errors for those curious. I cleared the output, then tried hoping between Tag providers to then choose "Vision Client Tags". Tried to add a tag, then tried importing without success.
