Something we do in vision is add a dataset parameter to a screen then bind to the different columns in the dataset i.e. {Root Container.Table.data}[“ProductCode”]

In perspective does this work as well? {view.custom.FacilityTable}[“name”] isn’t working for me. The dataset does have a row in it.

Here is the entry in help “Expression Overview and Syntax”  
“If you have an expression that returns a dataset, you can pull a value out of the datatset using the dataset access notation, which takes one of these forms:  
{Root Container.Table.data}[“ProductCode”]”

Thanks!
