Industrial Thing not saving "invalid name"' tags start with numbers

Question

Similar to this case , I have trouble because of the tag names on the KepServerEX.  We are adding Thingworx to an existing KepServerEX solution which has been validated by quality.  The plant will not allow me to change the names.

Is there a workaround.

I was able to find a workaround.Manually create a RemoteThingManually Set the IndustrialThing property.Create the properties necessary using names with names that start with letters.     Bind the properties to the tags that start with numbers.

Hi @mikefinch87.

I'm not aware of any workaround for this. I would recommend that you post this issue as an improvement on the ThingWorx Ideas board. This will allow others to vote on the issue, which could lead to consideration in a future release of the product.
