I would like WinCC to create alarm/event for operator controls. Using "SetTagWithOperatorEvent" function it almost works. When called from a screenwindow that uses TagPrefix, the alarm generated does not contain the tag prefix, only the suffix is generated to alarmtext. Is it possible to do this so the whole tag is logged?

But I did not understand how you meant with ".. think you have to add the tag prefix manually to the alarm text with scripting." I was thinking of a workaround that if I could only read what tag prefix the screenwindow uses, then I could do like SetTagWithOperatorEvent "@NOTP::Tag.suffix", True But I have not found a way to read what tag prefix the screenwindow uses because it is not set static.

Thank you Kike for your efforts.
