Title: v15.2 – Can't use MDG-Based Tags to control Autocolour Legends
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on February 12, 2021, 02:46:15 pm
We tried to use Tags from our MDG in some Autocolor legends.  Whilst we could select them, they didn't work.
Anyone else seen this?

Because we'd been exposed to EAUI for so long, we created local (not MDG) Tags with the same name.  Suddenly the Autocolour Legend worked and correctly reacted to the MDG-based Tag values on the items!  NOTE: To confirm the EAUI; ALL the local Tag needs is the name.  The rest of the Tag can be empty.

Naturally, this is problematic for us since we don't want to create local tags (especially those that have the same name as our MDG based one!), confusion for our users is almost guaranteed.  We've decided that we want to allow only MDG based tags.
