When I bind my History enabled bit to tag parameter, all the history configuration disappears.

How do I access below shown history configs.

Is this in a UDT? Tag general properties can only be bound to UDT parameters and the predefined UDT instance parameters. None of this can be done with plain tags.

The history section of a tag's properties are hidden when history is disabled. If you must bind within your UDT to those, temporarily set history enabled (without binding), set up all the other bindings, then add the final binding for history enabled.
