When you rename a tag, two situations are possible for changing the process function and the instrument type of that tag:

The Process Function has not changed

for example: renaming 108-PT-2212 to 108-PI-2212. Renaming a tag number this way does not change the process that the tag describes. Therefore, all the process data information that has been associated with the old tag will be automatically associated with the new tag. You can also delete the old process data if required.

The Process Function has changed

for example: renaming 108-PT-2212 to 108-FT-2212. If you rename a tag number this way, only general process data properties, such as pressure, temperature, and density will be propagated from the old tag number to the new one. Process data properties specifically associated with the tag's process function, for example, range, alarm trip settings, upper level, and so forth, will either not be propagated to the renamed tag or only be propagated partially. In this case, the old tag's additional properties and calculation results will not propagate to the new tag either.
