Support OPC-UA Tag Comments / Description / Documentation

Currently third party OPC-UA servers such as those available in CoDeSys PLCs offer the ability to create documentation on Tags using comments in the PLC Tag definition. This documentation can be included in OPC-UA but do not get imported into Ignition's OPC-UA server. This data would be very useful so that Integrators and Programmers can write comprehensive Tag Documentation in the PLC programs and have it also show up in Ignition with a minimal amount of work.

Having the tag Description come in from OPC UA to Ignition and all the way back out of Ignition into OPC UA would be a very nice feature

This should be a standard feature available from the OPC UA feature. We are finding this lack of functionality with integrating the OPC UA tags into AVEVA's PI system via the UA Adapter has been problematic. The blank descriptions from Ignition's OPC UA server will overwrite valid descriptions in the destination system's tags.

Importing opc-ua tag descriptions into Ignition and exporting tag descriptions out of ignition via opc-ua would be a very handy feature. Other systems support this not sure why Ignition doesn't. Would save a lot of time and confusion.

Using Beckhoff TwinCat OPC Server and Access To Description and Other Attributes such as Engineering Units and Limits would be good
