Is there a way to access to tag property in a template ?

In the template parameter, I pass an UDT.  
I can bind some template property with UDT tag value property,  
but I would like to bind with other tag property like .EngLow, .EnHigh.

Is it possible ?

Hi,

You’ll have to use an indirect binding. You can get the path of the udt instance through the “Meta.TagPath” property, so for example, if you had a tag in the udt called “MyValue”, you could set up an indirect binding like:

`{1}/MyValue.EngLow
1 = Template.UDTTag::Meta.TagPath`

Hope this helps,
