Overriding Tag Locker with Macros
Can agents override Tag Locker settings using macros?
Yes, agents can override Tag Locker settings using macros. While the app is designed to prevent manual mistakes in tagging, macros are not restricted by the app's settings. This means that agents can use macros to edit tags, even those that are locked, which can bypass the intended restrictions of the app. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely lock the editing of tags through macros.
