I’ve found that if I try to make rows dynamically hide in a flex repeater using the `instanceStyle.display` property by creating this as an output param within the instance View and binding this so a condition within the instance View. Half of the time, a few rows that should be visible are hidden.

I have:

- ‘Main View’  
 → ‘Flex Repeater’ within ‘Main View’ showing instances of ‘Row View’
- ‘Row View’

‘Row View’ props:

You can’t bind to individual elements of an output param (e.g. `params.instanceStyle.display`) and so I have to create a custom prop with all the stuff and then bind the output param to that…)

‘Flex Repeater’ instances:

It’s a bit convoluted and I have never liked the idea of passing the instanceStyle back through the row as an output param, but I don’t know any other way to do this. The instances array itself comes from a dynamic query that updates on startup.

As a workaround, I think I’m going to have to read the status of the tag i’m using to set the `display` prop for every single row and set this initially when I set the instance object
