Ignition

Hi,

I have an issue with binding a components ‘Name’ (inside a template) to a UDTs Meta data ‘TagName’.
Is this possible or is am i trying something that doesn’t work for a good reason?

Many thanks.

You have to account for tag bindings’ startup with a null, which is not a legal name and breaks your component. And deal with fallout invalid or duplicate names. IMNSHO, automatically naming a component with a binding is unwise. The better pattern is to use the name in your tag path for indirect binding. (Automating in reverse.)
