Hello!

I’m trying to write to a remote tag provider using a button onActionPerformed script.

```python
configuration = self.view.custom.configuration
	
#Write into memory tag
paths = ['[default]configuration','[default_bkp]configuration']
system.tag.writeBlocking(paths, [configuration]*len(paths)) 

```

Basically, I get the configuration from a popup custom property configured as object

and I want to write this data into `configuration` which is a Document tag present in both tag providers `[default]`and `[default_bkp]`. However, I got this error

The curious thing is that when I first read the `[default]configuration` and then write to `[default_bkp]configuration` - it works as expected!

```python
#Get new configuration
configuration = self.view.custom.configuration
	
#Write into memory tag
paths = ['[default]configuration','[default_bkp]configuration']
system.tag.writeBlocking(paths[0], configuration)

#Write into remote tag provider
primary_config = system.tag.readBlocking(paths[0])[0].value
system.tag.writeBlocking(paths[1], primary_config)

```

I’ve also attached the Diagnostic Bundle.

**Network Overview:**

I’m working with Ignition 8.1.48 and a Gateway Network connection between both gateways. I’m trying to write from _Primary_

Cheers!
