How to force all tags to be Lightweight during importing

Hi everybody,
i am trying to update my old project (iX V2.0) to new version (iX V2.40) and to port it to newer display X2Pro10.

In the old project I am using tags as GlobalDataItems in scripts. Now during importing a new list of tags, they are generated as Lightweighttags mostly.
I think i could change the scripts for using Lightweighttags but the problem is that some of tags are GlobalDataItems and i do not know why.

Could you please explain the reason of the phenomena and give any hint how it is possible to force all tags to be the same type.

Hi,

I have tried to figure out when a tag becomes Global Data Item and it seems that Global Data Item is used when a tag need some kind of calculation (gain isnt 0 or such).

You can force a tag to be Global Data Item by adding a text to Read Expression, for example "gdi".
