I cannot seem to get a tag binding to work correctly when looking at the /Alarm.Priority value of a tag. Tag Path: [default]10 Fuel Infeed/10-LSH-510/Alm/Alarms/Alarm.Priority Map Transform: Input Type: Value = “High”, Output Type: Value = True Binding Preview: Tag value = High, Map value = False ---

Hmm, not sure what is going on here. It appears the priority is really a number, but that doesn’t work in the binding either. 1 = Diagnostic 2 = Low 3 = Medium 4 = High 5 = Critical The only thing way i could do what you wanted with two bindings, on a label i created a custom binding to the priority with no transform. On the text property i created the transform you have, which worked but i want to say you shouldn’t have to do this. ---

After a bit more messing about I was able to get this to work but it only seems to work in an Expression Binding. If ([default]10 Fuel Infeed/10-LSH-510/Alm/Alarms/Alarm.Priority=“High”,True,False) ---

I “THINK” a regular tag binding doesn’t have access to that level. This is why the expression worked. But I’m really not sure someone else would have to confirm
