button ( . . . ) to browse for and select a tag. Click OK.

Modifying global objects that use tag placeholders
Modifying a global object that uses tag placeholders has various effects, depending on the
type of modification.
Modifying grouped base objects
Tag placeholders defined for a grouped base object are deleted, if the grouped object is:
 Ungrouped.
 Regrouped with another object or group, to form a new grouped object.
 Copied and then pasted into another grouped object.
Modifying tag placeholders defined for the base object
Changes made to tag placeholder definitions at the global base object are copied to linked
reference objects, the next time the displays containing the reference objects are opened or
refreshed.
For example, when you add, delete, or change the description of a tag placeholder for a
base global object, the same change will take effect for any linked reference objects, the
next time the reference objects are updated.
