I would like to bind a data type string parameters of an UDT with a text label.  
prop “RepereIHM” in the following example is not available in the templates parameters ?

You can do this by adding a memory tag to your UDT and making the value of that tag a reference to your data type parameter.

So add a new memory tag. For the value enter {RepereIHM}. Now you can bind your label to this memory tag.

Thanks for this solution even if a direct access would be welcome !
