OpcUA and user defined data (UDT) is it possible?

I have a remote siemens opc_ua_server with a UDT_TABLE looking like this:

So i have declared them in siemens based on weekdays(Sunday through saturday):

And therefore I’m curious, am I limited to using the following variable identifier, that connects directly to the integer value (s=„DB_TID“.„MONDAG“.„START_B_H_FM“) or can i somehow connect it to a udt that is defined in the same way in plcNext? since this would mean either 98 separate variable mappings or 7…
And if I want to both write and read the tags, do I need to define them both as Group type Write AND Group type Subscribe?

According to the Info Center:

And if I want to both write and read the tags, do I need to define them both as Group type Write AND Group type Subscribe?Yes, that’s correct.
