Ignition Features and Ideas

A really common use case for us is to inherit a parent project, then override navigation and certain session properties for different sites that are sharing the same parent project. The current problem with this is that we have to manually synchronize session properties and view navigation changes. Ideally, we would inherit all navigation/session props from the parent, and either override those, or have those be added in-addition to the child project's configuration.

I think it would be much more efficient if the parameters were shown and editable directly at the root level, without needing to expand or navigate further. https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-show-parameters-at-the-root-node-in-udt-tag-editor/107750

I can send projects to multiple agents, but I can only send tags to one provider at a time. I have multiple providers whose UDTs need to match. So, the default provider houses all the UDT definitions and I have a task to copy the UDTs to each provider. Would be nice to have one task. This would suffice as well. https://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/eam-agent-task-to-execute-other-agent-tasks

Unless there are conditions that would prevent it, my request is that UDT Type tag json be auto-converted to bindings if the values have braces in them. This trips up a lot of people trying to quickly create UDT Types from drag/dropped OPC Browser tags by utilising notepad find/replace to replace parts with parameters. E.g. Convert: "opcItemPath": "ns\u003d1;s\u003d[{PLCName}]{DeviceName}.Speed" to "opcItemPath": { "bindType": "parameter", "binding": "ns\u003d1;s\u003d[{PLCName}]{DeviceName}.Speed" }

I would like to be able to change date Style on the Date range component (or the date range embedded in easychart or alarm journal) Date Style is : YMD/DMY/MDY, but I need to display date with 4 digits : 2014/... instead of 14/...

Create an array of UDT inside a tag. This will make tagging way easy.

Are there any plans to add a dark theme to the ignition designer? I see that this question has been posted a few years ago but its 2020 now so I thought I would ask again.

Currently third party OPC-UA servers such as those available in CoDeSys PLCs offer the ability to create documentation on Tags using comments in the PLC Tag definition. This documentation can be included in OPC-UA but do not get imported into Ignition's OPC-UA server. This data would be very useful so that Integrators and Programmers can write comprehensive Tag Documentation in the PLC programs and have it also show up in Ignition with a minimal amount of work.

I believe it would be a nice addition to allow the user to manually type in the date in the date input field along with the option to use the calendar like most web interfaces now.
