Ignition Features and Ideas

It would be really helpful to have shared Data Types between gateway platforms in Ignition Scale-Out Architecture. for example, if we have Pump UDT we could make an instance either on local tags folder or remote tag providers.

Every time (so rarely) I need to use an image stored in the image management file system in Perspective, I always have to look up what the url source needs to be to get to it, i.e. the path copied from the Image Management tool needs to be prefixed with /system/images/ . It would be useful if there was an option to copy that path from the context menu. New comers would likely spend a while trying to work out why their image isn't showing.

One of the biggest problems I've had in Ignition is the lack of ability to rename tags, popups, templates and the like because all links to them are broken. Could a smart rename feature be created that would automatically change all links to a tag when it is renamed, or at least point to all the locations it is used so the user could easily change them? Thank you

I spend lots of time in script editor... 7.7 editor include very cool new features, but still need a few add ! color marks for todo like in eclipse coor marks for found occurence of a find comment right click on function list to copy full function path auto comment, uncomment lines of code autocompletion for all packages ctrl mousewheel to increase text font size

I'm not sure what triggers the collapsing, but I'm constantly having to re-expand folders/views after switching over to edit something else, and it's a major time waster.

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.

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.

It would be awesome if we could get breakpoints, variable inspection and step over / step into features.
