I’m able to read A/B tags from the Losant edge agent,but only if they are not an array. Unless I’m missing something. The current tag is “Test[0]” in the PLC, but I can only read the first value in the array by using only “Test” as the tag name. Is there a way around that? ---

Hi, Currently, the Allen-Bradley node does not accept the “” characters, but a fix will be pushed out soon. For now, you can use a Mutate node to set a new rule to change “Test[0]” to something like “working.testArray1,” which can then be used within the Allen-Bradley nodes, as shown below: ![18%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/1X/5df7ea1fa5a48214996f8d2df32a0a369f9c5036.png) ![20%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/1X/276409b755c3c441588e8330b7957b2901eb3c6b.png) Hopefully this helps, Julia ---

Hi Lars, This bug has since been fixed, see below! ![01%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/1X/374711e4800dcc845f3f9ff7835fd57e85ce5727.png) Thanks, Julia ---

So will that work for me now without updating the agent? ---

Yes, the characters were just not being allowed in the input. It should work fine now 😄 Thanks, Julia ---

Yes it does ! Thank You. You show the Result key in your screen shot above as “Test1”. How do I easiest get that Result value in to an indexed object? It doesn’t like me entering “Test[]” ---

Hi, One way I would recommend doing this is by self indexing the results, as shown below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/1X/4137ac57e7e56839f479403b8ab4dfca4eaa3b95.png) ![image%20(1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/1X/30a472bbec0caf1f05c4706e6012dbf61532ac70.png) Let me know if this helps!

That’s what I am doing now. I was hoping there would be a way to “automatically” generate the indexed key number. I guess a loop would be one way of doing that.
