I was wondering if anyone can help

I have a Controller scoped tag that is used to communicate with the plant floor monitoring system

The Controller scoped tag is made up of Tags aliased from each station

the station tag is maded up of a UDT that contains 3 ints and one dint.

In the controller scoped tag, each member of the int or dint has a discriptor.

The are generic.

I have put in a new line and I need to populate the descriptors in the Controller scoped tag.

The only way I have found to do this is copy the individual descriptor from an existing program and paste it into the descriptor area of the individual member.

The UDT does not allow for descriptors, exporting the tag, does not allow for the expansion of the ints and dints to edit the descriptor. Exporting as an LK5 is the same situ.

I need to populate these descriptors for an extractor program to pull for the Plant floor monitoring system, any suggestions?
