Undelete PI tags

Recovering a PI tag that was deleted accidently is extremly annoying. Why do I have to create a new tag and reprocess all historical archives to convert the old tag to the new tag in the archives? (https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Troubleshooting/KB/2651OSI8/) It should be quite easy to just recreate the original tag if you have the pointid and recno. Maybe when deleting a tag you should only mark the tag as deleted instead of removing it from the pi point table.

    We would like to see this enhancement worked on. 100 agree with the comment made so far, either have a 30-90days pre-define period or being able to create a PITAGs with the PointID and Recno as a special case would be very helpful

    If deleted tags were kept around for a definable period (eg: 30 or 90 days), an undelete capability would be easy.

    100% agree. Even a confirmation dialog with how many tags are about to be deleted would have helped...

    Since this likely wouldn't be a common task, even having the ability to create tags via PICONFIG and having the ability to specify the pointid and recno of the deleted tag would suffice. I can see leaving this out of the GUI tools, but some back-end tool should have this functionality at least.
