Was big int a tag datatype before?

Was big int available in the datatype?

I thought Big Int was an option for the datatype of a tag.
All my tags that I had labeled “BigIntInfeed” are datatype integer, and some rolled over.

What might have happened?

I am using Ignition 8.1.0 (it’s not my choice)
I changed them to longs, but I don’t see Big Int in the list.

I have int8 as the datatype on my transaction groups.

I’m pretty confident BigInteger has never been a supported datatype for tags.

“bigint” is the common name on some databases for 64-bit integers, aka “Long” or “Int8”.

Thanks very much, I must have mixed up some things in my travels.
