Morning, I am using EAM to push a UDT to Remote Agents and tag providers. All my settings seem to overwrite and update but associated data does not show up in the other tag providers. Am I missing something or is this not possible? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I've added Alarm Associated data according to the manual link: [Alarm Associated Data | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/alarming/configuring-alarms/alarm-associated-data)  
But it is not showing up in my tags after I have used the EAM module to "Send Tags to Server".

My Associated Data in the tag I'm using as the source UDT is blank, as I don't have a default value, I will be just manually updating the Associated Data for a few specific tags I want to filter for, maybe that is why? But none of the other properties behave that way.
