If it’s a bug, IA will need to know the version you’re using

You guys, I am being so careless and you are holding me accountable.🕶

I tested it two ways, by binding it to a dataset tag and a property dataset. In both cases, it didn’t pass the dataset to the new property.

You are right, it doesn’t work even in the simplest example and throws a lot of errors into the gateway log as it tries to resolve the binding. I’ll get an internal ticket written up for this.
