Hi guys, this post is mainly out of curiosity.

Is there a way or method to directly bind tag values from one tag provider to another; same way a tag is bound to a property, can I bind a tag to another tag?

The main objective of this would be to mirror tag values instead of writing script to read and write.

Thanks.

Reference tags, Derived tags, and for some cases, Expression tags, all can do this.

Tag binding across providers would have nothing to do with Vision or Perspective - although both could use the results. I removed the tags from your question.
