Cannot write to a tag (BOOL) unless reading from it first

[skykep]

Supposedly you can write to a tag without reading from it first so long as you declare the data type. This does not work.

Current Behavior

let heartbeatTag = new Tag("collectorHeartBeat", null, BOOL);
 await PLC[i][0].writeTag(heartbeatTag, true);

produces this: 2022-11-10 05:45:36Heartbeat Error: undefined which is my catch block when the heartbeat tag write fails

Expected Behavior

Write the tag successfully

Possible Solution (Optional)

For the heck of it, I just tried to modify the code to this instead, and it actually worked. So that's a minor bug, but workable.

          heartbeatTag.value = true;
          await PLC[i][0].writeTag(heartbeatTag);
