Alarm Metrics not bindable in templates?

8.3.4 RC 1, I created a UDT for a Valve object, and that UDT has a very helpful Alarm Metrics folder.

But when using the UDT as a parameter property to a template, none of the alarm metrics appear as bindable properties of the UDT:

(Meta is a folder in the UDT that I created) Is this by design, or a bug?

Stop. Don't use UDT parameter properties. (Like, ever. Lots of forum discussions on why.)

Use a string tagpath property. Use indirect binding everywhere within the template that needs live data, and concatenate the tagpath parameter with the trailing names.

Thanks again Phil, I changed to indirect tags and this seems to work now.
