Accessing UDT tag attributes in from a template

Thanks for that pointer. Just to make sure I understand what you're suggesting, you're saying that it's OK to use UDTs, and to map UDTs to templates, but that instead of using the tags from the UDT dataset directly, that you should rather reference the tagPath contained in the UDT meta property, and rebuild the original tag reference from there?

Like so:

runScript("project.tagHistory.tagBarChart", 0, {KPI Bars.data::Meta.TagPath} ), 'day' )

Am I understanding you correctly? Or are you saying that I should define a string in the template, that isn't a drop target, and just populate the tag path in there, instead of using the UDT drop feature at all.

Thanks for the info!
